Reservists seek Supreme Court review over 1966 draft act
A case challenging President Johnson’s authority to activate 38 000 Army reservists could reach the Supreme Court. Justice Douglas ordered a temporary stay delaying 113 Ohio based reservists bound for Vietnam until the court decides whether to hear the challenge to the 1966 act. The reservists argue the law unconstitutionally delegates legislative power and they may be exempt if enlisted before enactment.
