Very Very Common Mike Dunford (@questauthority.bsky.social):

The amount of fundamental, basic, long-settled Constitutional law that is being upset by these courts is nearly impossible to convey.

Nate Raymond (@nateraymond.bsky.social):

New: Trump-appointed Judge Mark Pittman in Texas has ruled that a 156-year-old ban on at-home distilling is unconstitutional, siding with a group that advocates for legalizing the ability of people to produce spirits like whiskey and bourbon at home. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Brainworm Enjoyer (@misterfungi.bsky.social):

Make Bathtub Gin Great Again

Wendell Albright (@wendella.bsky.social):

Make Blindness Common Again.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Here's the missing context:

Texas has an entire police force that is used to harass small business owners who make, sell, distribute, etc beer and wine and liquor. They will walk into licensed bars and arrest people drinking beer, because they could be seen to do so from the sidewalk

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

TABC held an entire beverage retailer chain hostage to the tune of millions of dollars of levied fines and threatened to pull their license because one shop misfiled one form on one returned case of beer. This extortion happened over the course of years.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Stores here cannot sell alcoholic beverages on Sunday mornings, under a technicality holdover regulation from 1980's Blue Laws.

The point here is that TABC regs are a way for Protestants to force their religious mores on everyone under the colour of law

So this decision is actually a good one

Allen Garvin (@allengarvin.bsky.social):

"So this decision is actually a good one"

This decision is based on the taxing power of Congress and has bearing on state law.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I withdraw that opinion - that the decision is good.

Here's the context you're missing, probably by not bothering to read:

The decision said that state regulation, including state bans, is fine. It's just the federal ban that it ruled against.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Aw, yeah - I skipped over reading it.

Arrrgh I was so looking forward to TABC being defanged
