The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to consider whether Congress had the constitutional authority to impose a ban on distilling spirits in private homes more than 150 years ago.
Plaintiffs challenging the prohibition on home distilling claim the 1868 law is an antiquated relic of Reconstruction-era politics. They argue that Congress overstepped its taxation powers when it enacted the home distilling ban as part of a tax reform measure designed to curb fraud by commercial distillers.
Government attorneys counter that Congress properly restricted where spirits can be distilled to prevent producers from evading federal excise taxes. They warn that lifting the ban would violate Supreme Court precedent and erode congressional powers.
You’re saying the raw milk ivermectin people are not going to be spiking their alcohol with who knows what?
I’m saying the raw milk ivermectin people are likely to do that already and the current data doesn’t show home distillation to be a problem.
The kind of people who are gonna add methanol to what they make are the kind of people to ignore the legality of home distillation and do it anyways.
