National Coalition For Men v. Selective Service System
Petition for certiorari denied on June 7, 2021
Issue: Whether, in light of the
Department of Defense having lifted the ban on
women in combat, the Supreme Court should overrule Rostker v. Goldberg, which upheld the men-only draft because women at that time were categorically prohibited from serving in combat roles,
and hold that the federal requirement that men but
not women register for the Selective Service, authorized under 50 U.S.C. § 3802(a), violates the right to
equal protection guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.
