"Ban on jobs for those who don't register for draft invalidated; Judge backs 4 who were fired"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"Ban on jobs for those who don't register for draft invalidated; Judge backs 4 who were fired": Today in The Boston Globe, Jonathan Saltzman has an article that begins, "A federal judge in Boston has declared unconstitutional a 1985 law that bars people from most federal employment if they knowingly fail to register for the draft. US District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock, siding with four men fired by the federal government for failing to register years earlier, said the law violates a constitutional provision that bars the legislative branch from punishing people without a trial."

You can access at this link yesterday's ruling of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
