1/ We can change the laws on combat exclusions without changing the laws about a draft we have not used in decades. I would argue that changing the combat exclusions would make changing the draft laws a lot easier, assuming anyone gives a damn about draft laws anymore to begin with.
2/ What doomed the ERA was the coalition between churches and Republicans and general looniness in both those constituencies, nothing rational.
You may as well say keeping women off the non-existent front lines was one of the things that prompted Falwell to blame women's liberation for 911.
