Supreme Court of the United States

National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service System

June 7, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by the National Coalition for Men challenging the male‑only registration requirement of the Military Selective Service Act. The Court noted its longstanding deference to Congress on national defense matters and left the issue for Congress to consider. The denial leaves the precedent set in Rostker v. Goldberg intact.
