Prohibition was quite Constitutional. An amendment was added to give it that power. If course that was eventually repealed but it echos a time when the busy bodies out there thought they needed an amendment to do so. Nowadays nameless faceless unaccountable bureaucrats can create regulations on a whim.

“ Prohibition was unconstitutional.”

No it wasn’t. A Constitutional Amendment was duly passed and enabling legislation enacted.

So too was the progressives’ other prohibition, the 1906 pure food and drug act under progressive RINO Teddy Roosevelt.
