Today is Repeal Day. Seventy-five years ago today -- December 5, 1933 -- the State of Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment, formally adding it to the Constitution of the United States. It reads:
Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use there in of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.
In sum, (1) Prohibition's over, but (2) states can go as dry as they want, and can discriminate in favor of domestic liquors against those produced in foreign states and nations when doing so is in furtherance of the goals of temperance and whatnot. "Laws enacted to combat the perceived evils of an unrestricted traffic in liquor" are kosher; mere economic protectionism is not.
We don't amend the Constitution very often -- only seventeen times since the Bill of Rights was enacted, or about once every 12-13 years. It is not an easy process, and has only been completed once since 1971, and that was for the long-dormant 27th Amendment regarding Congressional pay, proposed during the Bill of Rights days and forgotten until the 1980s.
So we might be due for another go at it. Propose the 28th Amendment to the Constitution today and, when you're done (and assuming it's legal for you), go find a way to celebrate Repeal Day today.
