A US appeals court on Friday declared a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling to be unconstitutional, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax.

The fifth US circuit court of appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the non-profit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members.

It feels like I disagree with everything that has been happening lately, so this caught me off guard. I think people should be able to homebrew and distill if they want. I hope exploding apartments and blindness rates don't go up too much.
