NCFM Files SUPREME COURT PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI in NCFM v. Selective Service System
NCFM NOTE: This amazing petition is the heartfelt work of Nadine Lewis, Esq., her staff, and a few attorney friends, all of whom believe strongly in equal treatment and civil rights.
The Supreme Court declined our 2013 petition in National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service petition because Congress was already reconsidering the male‑only draft and the Court traditionally defers to the political branches on military affairs.
That legislative effort collapsed in 2021 when Senators Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and Marco Rubio threatened to block the entire National Defense Authorization Act if it included women in Selective Service, which it did. Their opposition forced negotiators to strip the reform, leaving the discriminatory system intact and giving the Court a reason to avoid intervening while Congress remained “active” on the issue.
Such resistance is disrespectful, insulting, and shameful to warriors like Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, the unnamed female fighter pilot shot down by friendly fire over Kuwait (pending notification to next-of-kin), and all the women who came before them who died fighting for the USA.
We are hopeful the court will reconsider their position since Congress has failed to act since our 2013 request.
Harry Crouch, President/Board Chairman
