Federal Judge Finds Americans Have Constitutional Right To Distill Moonshine

Why the hell was this a question?
Obviously America has a Constitutional right to booze.
The 18th Amendment was repealed almost a hundred years ago, thereby restoring that right.

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.

Aw man getting drunk is so cool and edgy. Almost as cool and edgy as paying 1000% markup to do it at a business.

Is this it? Is this how we finally eliminate one of the worst SCOTUS decisions in Wickard? I can’t wait.

When you think about it, we had to have a right to booze prior to the 18th Amendment.
If we didn't, the 18 Amendment would not have been necessary.
If they had dreamed up Wickard in the early 20th Century, they would not have needed the 18th Amendment.
That's how fricked up Wickard is.

the 3 worst decisions they have had is, in my order but order them how you will, are 1) Marbury v Madison, 2) Plessy v Ferguson and 3) Wickard v Filburn.
All 3 fundamentally changed federal power.

A little too late for these ladies.

This is cool and right.
It seems to be really easy to distill with one of these little electric distillers, from what I can tell. I saw videos of guys taking wine and beer and distilling it. Also sugar washes.

If this judges decision sticks and there are no local laws against it, I might have to give it a try. I always thought it was crazy that Washington and Jefferson could distill, but American citizens can't. BTW, if you try this, toss out the first shot or two. Watch some youtube videos on foreshot, heads, hearts and tails.

I’ve been hobby distilling for decades. I use direct steam injection to distill that is piped up to a pressure cooker. Direct steam works well because you don’t have to worry about scorching the mash. I would not recommend direct steam for the beginner. It can be very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.

Bit of a misleading headline, I think. The court did not determine you have a right to distill spirits, just that the federal government could not ban it nationally. It could still presumably be banned at the state or local government level, right?

Sorry you can’t handle having a couple of drinks. Keep going to your meetings bro.

Now do away with the CIA creation MADD.

I thought it was OK for an individual to distill alcohol as long as they weren’t selling it.

I have no problem with this but I think if it's okay for a person to distill moonshine for their own personal use then it should also be okay for a person to grow marijuana for the same purpose.
I don't see how one would be okay and the other not.

Because of Wickard.
Think of the mindset change that happened in this country pre and post Wickard.
Prior to that they had to pass a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol.
Meaning that in their frame of mind the country was free to enjoy alcohol and the federal government had no hand in it. The same would have been true for marijuana and other substances.
