"An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed." Norton v. Shelby County, 118 US 425 (1885)
Well, at least federal joints have cable TV or so I hear. Wonder if they get TechTV on the expanded digital plan?

The draft was first instituted during the Civil War and has stood the test of the court and it is the court that determines what is constitutional and what is not.
