So how's that alcohol prohibition thing workin' out for ya? Still can't buy booze? And tell me, are you afraid of being drafted?

Government didn't "take" power during Prohibition is was done through the only legitimate means of increasing Government powers-- the resolution of a Constitutional Amendment; nevertheless the power to reinstate or even expand this power could be achieved today without such an amendment. There is nothing whatsoever preventing re-institution of the draft, except that senior DOD leadership knows that drafted soldiers aren't nearly as effective as an all-volunteer Army and scream and howl any time the subject is proposed...

"Government didn't "take" power during Prohibition..."

Of course it did. There are only 2 options, taking power or turning it down.

Well, government did not turn down the power of Prohibition. It took it.
