  1. I can see the problem they were trying to solve with the tax evasion, but it seems like crime shouldn’t be hobby brewing, it ought to be trying to sell home brew without paying the taxes.

    1. Or without purity testing. Amateur home brewers trying to sell their potions would blind so many people

  2. This will be a fine test of the doctrine of original intent, which the majority of the high court adheres to. What did Congress say in debates when they passed the law? What was happening in the USA in the era of the law’s passage? What this article doesn’t mention was that at the time boilers exploded and created safety risks. Such incidents happened all over, including in Indiana in urban settings. What, then, are local, state, and federal public servants to do to protect the safety of residents?
