#1 While I'm happy payback is coming, its all due to 'judicial' interpretation, not the reading of the Constitution. The Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment has been abused by the judiciary to expand its powers and oversight into things it was never intended, but certainly avoids all that messy stuff in Article V on how to amend the Constitution.

Here's the part the judge refused to adhere to -
Art I, Section 8, Congress shall
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

It's Congress' call. Per their authority

10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

That is the basis for the selective service and activation of the federal militia.
I don't see anything but another example of judicial dictation overthrowing the Constitutional separation of power.

#2 Yes, yes, P2k - very sad example of judicial overreach. Very, very, sad.

#3 The Equal Rights Amendment failed to be ratified. There were reasons it failed and why the Founded set the bar so high. Our lords and ladies of America's judicial aristocracy however have since decided to implement it through 'interpretations' such as this.
