i'm not used to seeing typographical errors like 'it's progency', 'does not get rebuff causation', and 'and it despite providing (...), it' in federal court opinions. they also quote the same text from §5178 twice and say that a statute from 01868 ce is 'about 130 years old'. i bet pittman regrets not proofing his clerk's draft and maybe hiring that clerk
it's surprising that the permanent injunction was granted. that's a very hard-line stance
this seems very likely to end up in the supreme court. like lopez and morrison, it substantially narrows the authority conferred on congress by wickard and raich, and the government is virtually certain to appeal to the circuit court. if they do not, or if cert is denied or the circuit court affirms this judgment and it ends there, it seems guaranteed that other members of the association (or other homebrewers) will file suit in other circuits, either obtaining a circuit split, which would virtually guarantee that the supreme court grant cert, or an effective elimination of the law—and many others!
