How weird.. The fact that the Executive & Congress prohibited booze to Indian tribes & put embargo's on foreign Nations is again being proffered as an excuse to prohibit trade among our several States.

-- Our States are not hostile tribes or nations.

No sooner does Congress ratify the U.S. Constitution and months later they're interpreting it the way they want.

But you have to put it into context.

According to Yappy's Big of History all Indian tribes were hostile and we were secretly at war with every nation in Europe.

Sappy contends that prohibited booze to some hostile Indian tribes & putting embargo's on some hostile foreign Nations is an excuse to prohibit trade among our several States.

The Act wasn't limited to hostile tribes or alcohol.
