High spirits: Supreme Court to decide fate of federal ban on home distilling

The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will evaluate the constitutionality of a federal ban on distilling liquor at home. This restriction dates back to the 1860s. The case follows a lower panel's decision declaring the longstanding ban unconstitutional. While the lower court struck down the restrictions, the Trump administration has urged the justices to intervene, arguing that the previous ruling took a blinkered view and threatens the viability of current federal regulations.
