Ammendment XIII didn't slow 'em down even a little bit in the past when we used the draft. Not even a little bit.

Understood, do you know if the arguement has ever been made?

I think its tautological that drafting doctors for their skills is involuntary servitude.

I am curious how specifically the Constitution is evaded. For instance, you have no right to a jury trial in an IRS case because it isn't a "criminal" matter. You have no right to be free from a search of much of your vehicle because the courts have ruled that "reasonable" searches do not require warrants. You can't go duck hunting without the Fed's permission due to international treaties that have nearly equal footing with the Constitution itself.

And so on.

No clue. But I'd wager that during the Vietnam war there must've been somebody that tried it.

Yep. No argument from me.
