Ali Draft Appeal Set For Next Month In Just War Question
The Supreme Court, in a partial win for conscientious objectors, closed the door on just-war opponents like Catho- lics but not on Muhammad Ali whose draft appeal is tentatively set for next month. Ali argues Islam forbids fighting in any war without Allah’s blessing. The Court’s ruling centers on Congress’s intent to grant CO status for war opposition in general, not to exempt opponents of a single war such as Vietnam. Justices discuss whether Ali’s objection is to specific wars or to war itself, while other cases involve a Jehovah’s Witness allowed CO status for a theocratic war. If Ali’s appeal proceeds, it faces government pushback on the breadth of his religious exemption.
