Wartime Prohibition upheld by Supreme Court ruling
The Supreme Court unanimously held wartime prohibition constitutional, ending hopes for a wet holiday. Justice Brandeis noted the amendment applies to states and the federal government, rejecting the wets’ argument that wartime powers excluded prohibition. The decision marks a milestone in the dry movement and sets the stage for future enforcement questions.
