What the record shows

The Supreme Court's consideration of this legislation is significant.

The extreme prosecution

Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the Supreme Court's consideration of overturning the 1868 legislation against home distilling is a dangerous precedent that could lead to chaos. The prosecution alleges that this move is not merely about personal freedom but a calculated effort to undermine federal regulations.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution submits that the rise in home distilling is directly linked to the Trump administration's lax approach to regulation. The prosecution imagines a scenario where this decision emboldens criminal enterprises to flood the market with unregulated spirits.

The Domino Effect

The prosecution urges the court to consider the domino effect of this ruling.

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution admits that while some may celebrate this as a victory for personal liberty, it masks a deeper danger—an increase in illegal activity and public disorder.

Closing Argument

In the prosecution's theory, the Supreme Court must recognize the broader implications of their decision.

Verdict

The prosecution urges the court to reject this dangerous path and uphold the law.

Prosecution exhibits

1. Prosecution theory: Increased home distilling will lead to a rise in alcohol-related accidents.
2. Prosecution theory: This will strain emergency services already burdened by the pandemic.
3. Prosecution theory: Ultimately, this could lead to a public health crisis that the Trump administration will be blamed for.

Reality Check

The Supreme Court will consider in the new year whether the 1868 legislation forbidding home distilling should be overturned.
