I'll Drink To That!

Eighty-five years ago, this very minute, the 21st Amendment nullified the 18th Amendment and ended the national experiment in prohibiting people from drinking by cutting off the supply.

Odd that before FDR it was understood that if you wanted to ban something not mentioned in The Constitution you needed an amendment to grant the power sought.

Almost as if the 9th and 10th amendments meant what they said...

Remember this when you say things like, "driving is a privilege."  By that rationale drinking is a like privilege... yet an amendment was needed to ban it.
