John, this means you're going to send me a case of Domaine St. Michelle from Washington State when our baby comes, right?
I think I can do better than that...
It's kind of a limited ruling. It doesn't, for example, strike down Maryland's law because Maryland's ban on shipping wine applies both to in-state and out-of-state breweries, unlike the ones in the case before the Court which prejudiced the wine industry in-state against those out of state, thus violating the Constitution's provisions on interstate commerce regulation.
Ken, you're just trying to throw cold water on our joy!
Scalia, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer and Souter vs. Thomas, O'Connor, Stevens and Rehnquist. Weird.
