I can’t believe there is still doubt about this. We’ve had at least a dozen “Bush is going to re-instate the draft” threads, and one of us brings this up every freakin’ time. Maybe we can make a sticky: Congress must act to re-instate the draft.

Even if Bush tried to do this w/o Congress, it would go the SCOTUS so fast it would make your head spin.
