Pte Malcolm A Berk 21 of Queens argued a 1787 New York law barred sending New York service members to an unconstitutional war. Berk remains in Vietnam. Judge Orrin G Judd noted Congress authorised armed force in Vietnam and found the war not unlawful due to presidential actions. The old New York Bill of Rights provision requiring consent of the legislature or special federal provision was cited as not blocking the conflict.
