Ali Draft Appeal Set for Argument After Court Ruling
The Supreme Court has rejected just war exemptions but leaves open Muhammad Ali's draft appeal to be argued next month. Ali's lawyers contend Islam forbids him from fighting without Allah's blessing, while the Justice Department disputes the stance. The court previously ruled 8-1 that conscientious objectors need not exempt any specific war. Lost plaintiffs Gillette and Negre cited the just war doctrine, with Gillette open to defense or UN peacekeeping in some cases.
