Since the reinstatement of draft registration in 1980, the Supreme Court has heard and decided four cases related to the Military Selective Service Act: ''Rostker v. Goldberg'', 453 U.S. 57 (1981), upholding the constitutionality of requiring men but not women to register for the draft; ''Selective Service v. Minnesota Public Interest Research Group (MPIRG)'', 468 U.S. 841 (1984), upholding the constitutionality of the "Solomon Amendment", which requires applicants for Federal student aid to certify that they have complied with draft registration, either by having registered or by not being required to register; ''Wayte v. United States'', 470 U.S. 598 (1985), upholding the policies and procedures which the Supreme Court thought the government had used to select the "most vocal" non-registrants for prosecution, after the government refused to comply with discovery orders by the trial court to produce documents and witnesses related to the selection of non-registrants for prosecution; and ''[[Elgin v. Department of Treasury]]'', 567 U.S. 1 (2012), regarding procedures for judicial review of denial of federal employment for non-registrants.<ref>{{cite web |title = Draft Registration, Draft Resistance, the Military Draft, and Health Care Workers and Women and the Draft |url = http://www.resisters.info/#supremecourt |website = Resisters.info |access-date = 12 February 2016 }}</ref>
The case ''[[National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service System]]'' resulted in the male-only draft registration being declared unconstitutional by a district court. That decision was reversed by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.<ref name="hasbrouck.org"/> A petition for review was then filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hasbrouck |first1=Edward |title=Supreme Court asked to review Constitutionality of current male-only draft registration requirement |url=https://hasbrouck.org/blog/archives/002587.html |website = Resisters.info |access-date=23 January 2021}}</ref> The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the decision by the Court of Appeals.<ref name="AL2021">{{Cite news |last=Liptak |first=Adam |date=2021-06-07 |title=Supreme Court Won't Hear Case on Limiting Military Draft to Men |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/07/us/supreme-court-draft.html |access-date=2021-06-07 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
