I see no threads, too many wines perhaps?

Engineer,

At the risk of this becoming too lengthy, the Supreme Court has over the decades consistently decided to allow the states leeway because, as justice Kennedy even said when the court issued the shipping ruling, alcohol is a special product that does not deserve the same constitutional protections as other products--even guns.

The wholesalers know full well how much power that gives them. Their latest move is designed to weaken the Supreme Court's decision to leave it standing but ineffective, because nothing in that decision precludes states from banning all shipping--it only forces states to treat all wineries throughout the country alike.
