Well, this writer has found a new career path: moonshine distiller.
Federal Judge Finds Americans Have Constitutional Right To Distill Moonshine In Their Bathtub https://t.co/iQ9hVt7dN7
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) July 12, 2024
A federal judge rejected a more than century-old ban on home distilling as unconstitutional Wednesday.
Judge Mark Pittman, a Trump appointee, found that a federal law making it a felony to distill spirits at home exceeded Congress’ power, holding that neither Congress’ tax power nor its ability to regulate interstate commerce justify the ban. Pittman permanently blocked the government from enforcing the ban, which threatens violators with up to $10,000 in fines or 5 years in prison, against the plaintiffs it found to have standing.
“Indeed, the Constitution is written to prevent societal amnesia of the defined limits it places on this government of and by the people,” Pittman wrote. “That is where the judiciary must declare when its coequal branches overstep their Constitutional authority. Congress has done so here.”
Thank you Judge Pittman!
I'd never drink moonshine straight out of some dude's bathtub.

You really do.
The ATF should be a store, not a federal agency.

SO BACK, BABY.
I think said federal judge might also find that *some* Americans never actually conceded this particular liberty. https://t.co/jsi7eOwpU3

That'll knock the virus out of you in one dose.
I suspect that one may distill one's own spirits but can probably not sell it without meeting Federal and state requirements. https://t.co/JP0EhWI1Qg
