While the morality of a draft is debatable, it is nonetheless an obligation, whereas voting is a privilege.

Voting is a right, not a privilege.

Back to the OP: Voting is a choice, not a legal obligation.

A panel of federal judges ordered that President Donald Trump's administration can resume building the White House ballroom while a lower court gathers more information about whether a building pause will cause a national security risk.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia gave a 2-1 ruling on Saturday.

The 17-page order extended the district court’s stay of its March 31 preliminary injunction to April 17. The National Trust for Historic Preservation had sued the National Park Service over the planned 90,000 square-foot ballroom to replace the demolished East Wing. The project is funded by private donors.

This does not decide the case, it simply permits the construction to continue while the lower court gethers the info necessary to consider Trump's motion.

While the Dem Party needed lesser candidates to drop out to avoid spreading out thei vote, Swillwell was their leading candidate.

This is looking to me more like an indy Prog acted to expose Swillwell for what he is and the Dems and the MSM shills have scrambled into CYA mode.

Register and draft 'all' sexes if you are going to do it.    EEO in action baby, EEO in action.  The gals can learn to pull a trigger too.

The democrats are doing this because their candidates for governor of California are refusing to drop out and because the democrats came up with the crazy jungle primary bullshit, if some of the democratic candidates don’t drop out the Republican will win.

Just my take.

Trump is simply a negotiator. He changes to fit what is needed for the negotiation. Like it or not, it’s how all negotiations work.

Rep. Luna Filing Motion to Expel Swalwell Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Texas, says she is filing a motion to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who has been accused of sexual assault by a former staffer.

Luna made the comment in a series of posts on X. She also called on Swalwell to resign from his post.

“So, the Dems don’t want Swalwell to be governor of California, but he can stay a member of Congress? Are we running a halfway house for sexual predators in Congress now? No,” she said.

While I am very inclined to believe the claims against Swillwell, I think the claims need to be verified before kicking Swillwell out of Congress.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell under investigation by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for sexual assault

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-eric-swalwell-under-investigation-by-manhattan-da-alvin-bragg-for-sexual-assault

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced on Saturday that Rep. Eric Swalwell is under investigation for alleged sexual assault from 2024 involving a former staffer. The investigation was launched after multiple women alleged sexual misconduct by Swalwell on Friday.

A former staffer of Swalwell's claimed to CNN that after she was heavily intoxicated she was raped by the congressman in an incident that left her bloody and bruised, “I was pushing him off of me, saying no. He didn't stop." That incident took place in 2024 after she had stopped working in the congressman's office. The unidentified woman said that it happened in 2019 when she was still working for him and alleged that she woke up naked on the bed with Swalwell after drinking.

I'm not sure what Swillwell's "alleged" horndogging has to do with NYC.

U.S. Military to Deploy Underwater Drones to Clear Mines in Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. military will start clearing the Strait of Hormuz with underwater drones in the coming days, according to the U.S. Central Command.

Two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers passed through the Strait for the first time on Saturday since the conflict started on Feb. 28.

USS Frank E. Peterson and USS Michael Murphy crossed the Strait of Hormuz and operated in the Arabian Gulf to ensure the Strait is clear of sea mines previously laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, CENTCOM posted on X.

Additional U.S. forces, including underwater drones, will help clear sea mines in the coming days, CENTCOM said.

Iran claims they don't know where their mines are. Given the casualty rate in the Iranian navy, that is, ironically, plausible.
