Teleburst, I can always count on you to make me see the arguments, I guess thats why I post here... Seriously..
Although, as I am reading your reply, a little light bulb started blinking (actually more like a dim light that you find in pocket key chains oh well). Seriously, I know its very far fetched, but on a purely academic level, I don't see why not. Sure, the door is open to various tears in the legal system, but the case law is seriously not there and the interpretations are so loose that I am confident at least a good case could be made, hell I think even a writ for mandamus would be appropriate. The last time this country has seen an involuntary servitude claim was 1971, which involved a soldier who made a claim that he was held against his will, which sparked a huge debate in washington over the vietnam war and whether or not it was constitutional to force soldiers to war.
In any case, I promise to investigate it a little and get back to you...
