The Supreme Court is going to make a decision.
⚖️ BREAKING: HDA’S CASE IS HEADED TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
This morning, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Department of Justice v. McNutt—the case involving the Hobby Distillers Association and our fellow plaintiffs challenging the federal prohibition on home distilling.
The government asked the Supreme Court to review our Fifth Circuit victory, and the Court has now granted that request.
What does this mean? The legal fight continues. Today’s order is an agreement to hear the case, not a ruling on whether the prohibition is constitutional.
