In honor of the Blaine Act, here's mud in yer eye.
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 05:22 PM by trof
The Blaine (you LOVELY man) Act, or 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

The 18th Amendment?
That was the Volstead (may he rot in hell) Act:
Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

It was better known as 'prohibition'.
One more instance of :sarcasm: 'brilliant legislation of MORALS'.

Belly up to the bar.
:toast:
Here's to confusion to our enemies and succor to our friends.
Cheers.
:-)
