A victory for freedom, but a loss for strict interpretation
In Granholm Vs Heald the Supreme Court has ruled that it is a violation of the commerce clause to bar interstate shipments of booze. I mentioned this last week. That's great for freedom. I thing the 21st amendment, by virtue of coming later should allow the states to regulate this, but I'll shed few tears for the lose of these pointless acts of protectionism. However, I believe that bad judging is not the solution to stupid laws. Why can't we accept that a law can be stupid and pointless without being illegal? Then make the legislatures sort the mess out.
New York is one of the states party to this case, so maybe I'll celebrate by ordering some wine online.
