@gmh :deep sigh: This is overwrought and sensationalized disinformation. 1) 46 states and territories *already do this* and *have for years* 2) Selective Service has been a law for *almost 80 years now* 3) This provision was added by *Democrats* to make sure no one is caught unaware by the existing laws, and to save processing money 4) Selective Service isn't the draft. It's the mechanism, but a draft requires an act of Congress and would almost certainly lead to civil unrest right away.

    @dresstokilt @gmh And meanwhile, it's time to commend the lyrics of "Alice's Restaurant" to all the under-35s, preferably with the social context to understand why it's important.
