In prior posts, I’ve mentioned that a staple of constitutional argument is: “We can draft you, therefore we can do blank to you.” Another example of this is Chief Justice Vinson’s dissent in Youngstown:
“Seizure of plaintiff’s property is not a pleasant undertaking. Similarly unpleasant to a free country are the draft which disrupts the home and military procurement which causes economic dislocation and compels adoption of price controls, wage stabilization, and allocation of materials.”
