Raise a Glass to the SC

They have put an end to the nonsense that allowed New York and Michigan (and most other states) to ban out-of-state wine shipments while protecting shipments from in-state wineries. It's basic interstate commerce clause, folks (although apparently 4 out of 9 justices disagree with me - don't ask me to explain their arguments; ask Clarence Thomas).

Bob noted it here when oral arguments were made before the court. While the laws have obvious benefits for wine distributors in a state, they have been bad for consumers all around.

So let's all raise a glass to the Supremes - or 5 of 9 of them, anyway: We are become one nation, under Bacchus, with zinfandel and pinot for all.
