"of which is well demolished by the dissent opinion"

The "dissent opinion" was the losing opinion. The Act banning alcohol was upheld by the USSC.

I didn't hear you making exception for War Powers before, tpaine. All I heard from you, ad nauseum, was that the 18th amendment gave Congress the power to ban alcohol. Now you're tempering your rantings somewhat.

Also, WWI ended November, 1918. The War Prohibition Act passed Congress in November, 1918. Can you explain your War Powers theory again?

Of couse it was. Did you even read the whole thing? I'd bet not. - The link is right above, and the dissent makes the majority opinion look stupid.

You 'hear' the damndest things, - that have absolutely no basis in reality. Apparently you believe no one can remember what is said from thread to thread. Weird person.

Read the link to the case, and your confusion will clarify itself, - or, - maybe not. But, in any case, I am unable to help, due to a lack of sympathy. - Sorry.
