Curtea Supremă din SUA se va pronunța asupra unei interdicții care durează de aproape 160 de ani

The U.S. Supreme Court will review a nearly 160-year-old federal ban on home distillation of alcoholic beverages, originally enacted to combat tax evasion post-Civil War. The case pits the Trump administration against challengers arguing the ban exceeds Congress's authority. Conflicting rulings from federal appeals courts have emerged, with one court deeming the law unconstitutional while another upheld it as necessary for tax collection. Fifteen Republican-led states support the challengers, urging the Supreme Court to resolve the legal discrepancies. The Justice Department emphasizes the importance of protecting federal revenue from alcohol taxes, which have historical significance dating back to the nation's founding.
