I'd like to ask you "What part of Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime don't you understand?"

bronco, you don't interpret the Constitution for the rest of us. As set forth in the Constitution, the Supreme Court does. So I'd like to ask you: what part of the United States Supreme Court opinions that expressly held that the draft is "NOT involuntary servitude nor slavery" don't you understand? Or are you not governed by what the Supreme Court says? Or are you the individual who should decide for all the rest of us what the Constitution and the BoR's mean?
