Okay, let's see:

Most Democrats oppose the draft because they see it as war-mongering.
Most Republicans oppose the draft because they see it as leftist social-engineering and big government meddling.

That doesn't leave a whole lot of a base for political support.

There's only two "mainstream" groups of draft supporters:
Communists, who think that if we draft everyone there will somehow be less war, because the rich will have to fight too.
Radical Neo-Cons, who think that people are property of the state.

If I were dictator, I would expel both of the aforementioned group to Canada.

If the draft does pass in Congress, it will be murdered in the Supreme Court on 5th and 13th Amendment Basises. The Draft hasn't been upheld in a court of law since 1917. In 80 years, alot of our attitudes towards things like the draft have changed.

EDIT: So to answer the question:

If I were drafted, I would get a bunch of my ridiculously rich friends and their well-connected families together, hire a team of fat-ass Harvard lawyers, take the case to the Supreme Court, argue that it is Involuntary Servitude (which, by the way, it is), create a huge lobby among young Americans, get Congressman Ron Paul (TX-R) to do a massive filibuster in Congress, have massive public demonstrations partially funded by the US Libertarian Party and their strongly anti-war Aaron Russo, win the case on a 6-3 vote (All judges voting in favor of abolishing except Sandra Day O'Connor, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Scalia), and then get teh draft abolished forever.

It would be the most patriotic thing to do. We would be ridding America of the last vestige of the Specter of Slavery, and creating a more free society on line with what our Founders were thinking of.

It is NOT patriotic to go to a war and by doing so submit to a slave system. If you are a real patriot, you would want to uphold the law of the land, and that is the Constitution. IT says clearly: "NO INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE". And also: "NO MAN SHALL BE DEPRIVED OF LIFE LIBERTY OR PROPERTY WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW." When you're a soldier, you take an oath to defend the Constitution. We patriotic civlians should do the same. Fight the Draft!
