"Sorry but that ex post facto. That case was heard long after the 18th and the 21st amendments were passed."

First of all, I said the regulation of drugs was within Congress' constitutional power. You asked for "evidence to support my position" and I gave it to you.

WTF does that have to do with Prohibition?

Second, if you wanted me to cite pre-Prohibition court cases, or pre-FDR cases, or 19th century cases, you should have said so. I'm not going to play your little back-and-forth game. Next time be more specific.

You notice that it does not say with in the states.
Do you have any evidence to support your position?
