Male-only draft is constitutional, federal appeals court rules
5th Circuit says 'only the Supreme Court may revise its precedent'

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal appeals court in New Orleans upheld the constitutionality of the all-male military draft system Thursday, citing a 1981 U.S. Supreme Court decision.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans said "only the Supreme Court may revise its precedent."
The case was argued in March and was the result of a lawsuit by the National Coalition for Men and two men challenging the male-only draft. Their arguments had been that the 1981 case was decided at a time when women were largely absent from combat.
