Supreme Court closes door on just war doctrine
The Supreme Court ruled that conscientious objection covers war in general, not a single conflict such as Vietnam. Muhammad Ali’s upcoming draft appeal hinges on religion and the broader interpretation, while the decision preserves a 1955 Jehovah’s Witness ruling permitting C O status for a theocratic war stance. The government will stress Ali’s objections may target specific wars, not all war.
