Legal Question in Discrimination Law in District of Columbia

Re: Females not required to register for selective service

In situations involving a national emergency, males would be needed for direct combat and females(unless there's a change in the laws)would not be, or so Congress has thus far determined, and therefore, a large pool of males

needs to be available for immediate call up(draft). The method of assuring such a pool is obviously through selective service registration.

Any suit challenging this determination on equal protection or other grounds would likely go nowhere as the courts have traditionally been most deferential to congressional decisions and positions on matters regarding the national security of the United states.
