Article 1, Section 8.
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
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;
Now, of course, you’ll employ much hyperbole and try to make the case that “militia” doesn’t apply to “we the people.” Now... extra credit for you... who IS the militia if it’s not drawn from the populace?
Bullshine, Authorizing funding and setting legal structure for a militia is not the founders envisioning a forced draft.
and the 14th amendment us utterly clear. No involuntary servitude except for a crime.
The militia is not the US Army and never has been. The militia has never been anything more than national defense. And that is defense, as in repelling an invasion.
And the you might notice who is the militia, it doesn’t include women,,,, sport.
