NewzThe Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to review the constitutionality of a federal law dating back to 1868 that prohibits the home distillation of alcohol. The high court's decision to take up the case follows a ruling by a lower appeals court which concluded that the long-standing legislation exceeds federal authority.
The case centers on whether the federal government possesses the constitutional power to ban citizens from distilling alcohol at home. The upcoming proceedings in Washington will determine the legal validity of the 19th-century statute in light of modern judicial interpretations of federal regulatory powers.
