While many of the Supreme Court decisions seem to have little impact on my life - this is the first case which I can really sink my teeth into - or should I say drink. I enjoy a glass of wine like the rest of us legal adults in America. I have always hated the fact that some wineries that I like in MD, NY, and VA I can't get them shipped into Massachusetts. Even my favorite CA wine Fortino and Thomas Kruge you can't get them to ship into MA. BTW if you ever goto silicon valley in CA you need to take the 45 minute drive to Gilroy and find these places. I have always that this was a pain and I did not understand why it was a problem. Finally someone told me it was all about taxes and the state controlling what happens with alcohol due the the 15th amendment to the constitution. So I have been following this case pretty closely - and yesterday the supreme court finally heard the arguments:

Briefs for Case
I can't wait to read the transcript of the arguments - posted sometime around Christmas....the decision is due next summer.
