Burlington Democrat Dennis Morrisseau, a former Army lieutenant and White House protester, argues the Court broadened conscientious objection to cover extra religious grounds. He says the ruling speeds the end of the Vietnam War and the shift to a volunteer army, and it supports the right to follow conscience over national policy.
