⚖️ Supreme Court to Rule on Federal Ban on Home Distilling
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear a challenge to the federal ban on home distilling, a restriction dating back to the 1860s, after a lower court ruled the law unconstitutional.
The Trump administration urged the justices to intervene, arguing the lower court took a "blinkered view" that threatens the viability of the ban. Conflicting appellate rulings have created a split — leaving home distilling legal in some jurisdictions and illegal in others, including Texas and Ohio — making Supreme Court review likely inevitable.
The case will determine whether a 158-year-old federal prohibition can survive constitutional scrutiny.
