Supreme Court speeds up ruling on prohibition case in Rhode Island
The Supreme Court accelerated a decision testing the validity of constitutional prohibition and the Volstead Act. Rhode Island's original suit seeks to block enforcement of the 18th Amendment and the federal law within the state after it rejected ratification. Ohio and prohibition leaders support advancing the arguments, with potential impact on other states contemplating similar referendums. The case may not be argued until March, as the court recesses in February.
