Don't Draft at the Federal Level---Draft into the Militia
Posted April 5th, 2008 by JminehanMost states have Military Laws or Militia Acts that require all males between 18 and 50 or 60 (it depends on the state) be part of the "Unorganized Militia." This is a vestigial form going back to Colonial Times.
What if all conscription were to be done through the States into their National Guards, with those so drafted subject to being federalized? This seems to better pass Constitutional muster and to be more potentially efficient.
