In The Columbus Dispatch, The Buckeye Institute’s client John Ream explains why he is suing the federal government to overturn the federal ban on home distilling. “If Congress can prohibit me from home distilling, what is to stop it from banning home bread baking, vegetable gardening, fixing up the family Ford in the driveway, and practically anything else?” Ream v. U.S. Department of Treasury was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division.
