There was a strong move in Congress to pass a federal anti-shipping bill
several years ago but its author, Strom Thurmond, is now dust. I believe
the court's view will represent the right wing Christian Coalition that
put them on the bench and avoid striking down the paragraph in the 21st
amendment that allows states to impose these laws. The simple way to do
this is to remand it back to the state. The Supremes could be accused
of making laws if they do anything else.
Now there is Ken Starr who thought he was more important than the
president awhile back. Maybe he has some tricks to prevent the simple
solution.
