Has there been a new Amendment that I don't know about. If so, share with the class. Just please don't start another one of your idiot flame wars.

I really don't have the time today.

You said the "war on alcohol" required an amendment. Do you have some new information you'd like to share, some information that supports that statement?

I was under the impression that the 18th amendment was desired, not required. After all, President Jefferson and his Secretary of State James Madison (who wrote the Commerce Clause), used the power of the Commerce Clause to prohibit alcohol sales to the Indian tribes in 1802.

Maybe these two Founding Fathers were confused about their power to regulate commerce, huh?
