Of course, I could have gone with "aiding and abetting a crime is an expression of party loyalty; holding someone accountable for their acts is an expression of party disloyalty."

Conservatives riled up over registering women for draft
Conservatives are expressing outrage about a pending Senate defense policy bill that would require women to register for the draft, and two defense hawks opposed the measure in the Armed Services Committee over the issue.
The Senate’s National Defense Authorization Act, which the committee approved on July 21, contains an amendment by the panel’s chairman, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, that would require women to sign up with Selective Service, just as men do between the ages of 18 and 25. If enacted, women could be drafted into military service in the event of a national emergency, though there is no prospect of that on the horizon, and no American has been drafted in nearly half a century.
Nice two step there.
The Senate Armed Service summary of the NDAA is here.
