The only reason Rangel even brought this up was to generate a dialog where by EVERYBODY in our great country sacrifice something for the vanity war dubya started. He doesn't want a draft. He simply wants everybody to understand that the War on Terra (accodring to Dubya) will last forever and there needs to be an awareness that someones kids must serve so we can kill the furriners. The thinking is that if donors to the republican party thought maybe their own children will be sent to die in this illegal way, maybe - just maybe, they would re-think their stance on the war. After all, I am for war as long as someone elses kids fight it for me. So please don't be naive. I give you folks much more credit than that. Is that credit misplaced? I hope not.

Or fight in ANY war? Or that -- GULP! -- Congress and the Executive Branch would have to stop doing aggressive wars of choice?

It's just Rangel being Rangel, and no one takes it particularly seriously. It's kinda like those bills proposing to strip the courts of jurisdiction over establishment clause cases. They're regularly proposed and just as regularly tabled in committee. There isn’t a chance he’ll get his way. It’s just Rangel being Rangel, and no one takes it particularly seriously.
