Oh boy, what will Bibi do now? I am interested in what my Jewish bothers and sisters here think the fall out of this ruling will be.

"...ultra-Orthodox Jews must be drafted into military"

I really don't have an opinion on that one way or the other. I am more interested in what the implications of the decision will be for the current, governing coalition (and hence on what is going on in Gaza).
"Most Israelis believe ultra-Orthodox men should serve in the military, according to recent polls, but Haredi parties have been staunchly opposed to efforts to rescind the draft exemption. Netanyahu’s fragile government coalition relies on two Haredi parties – United Torah Judaism and Shas – to govern. He has for weeks been trying to advance legislation through Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, that would enshrine in law a draft exemption for Haredi men."

Relatively little, imo. I think the next question is whether the Chasidim would allow themselves to be drafted and I have doubts they would.

They will be thrilled.There is a lot of resentment by the majority that some escape military service.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Don't forget that participation in modern day OT fury and action. Orthodoxs ought to feel privileged.

Better to end the draft for all.
