In time of war, rights guaranteed by the Constitution

Findlaw ^ | 2/15/03 | Justice Van Devanter [1920]

[MrLeRoy]

"Since Congress has power to increase war efficiency by prohibiting the liquor traffic, no reason appears why it should be denied the power to make its prohibition effective".
--Mr. Justice NRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.

A nice find, tpaine, but one that nevertheless supports my contention that Congress did not need the 18th amendment to prohibit alcohol.

False, since Prohibition did nothing to "increase war efficiency."

[MrLeRoy]

those unrefuted findings

I.e., once Congress declares something to be a "fact," the burden is on anyone who disagrees to disprove it. What a bootlicking philosophy.

[Roscoe]

once Congress declares something to be a "fact," the burden is on anyone who disagrees to disprove it.

A burden you guys have abysmally failed to meet.

[MrLeRoy]

once Congress declares something to be a "fact," the burden is on anyone who disagrees to disprove it.

A burden

So you do hold that bootlicking philosophy. Sad.

[Roscoe]

You're perfectly free to go into court and spew ill-informed and unsupported opinions if ya want. I won't mind at all.
