The draft is unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court of the United States disagrees with your statement. They have upheld the constitutionality of the draft many times in the 1900's during each of the major wars the draft was used.

Under what basis do you believe the draft is not constitutional?

Under the basis that it has the potential effect of depriving its citizen of their unalienable rights to
Life
Liberty
and it puts a serious damper on the pursuit of happiness
before you attempt to educate me with endless links to all the times the court has upheld the draft's constitutionality: I'm only interested in the one where they finally get it right.

And to be clear: I respect soldiers who have and who will ever enlist to defend their country with an added measure of gratitude for those who defend mine.

Life , Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Interesting set of ideas.

But they are in the Declaration of Independence not the constitution.

I used to have a beautifully framed set of The Articles of Freedom hanging on my wall: I'm aware.
Also of the debates our founding fathers had about freedom, who should have it and so on.
