COH’s arguments are the ones you would have to use to defend compulsory national service.

I don’t think the text allows it, even though I think it would be. A great idea for the country.

I am not persuaded by with the peonage law precedent because the facts and harm addressed are substantially different. Anyway, I see an easier work around for the concept of involuntary servitude than I see for the clear lack of federal authority.
