Federalism Under the Influence: Drugs, Booze and the Commerce Clause [AEI]
3:16 PM ET

Federalism Under the Influence: Drugs, Booze and the Commerce Clause, American Enterprise Institute, November 10, 2004. Panelists include law professors Brannon Denning {Cumberland) and Viet Dinh (Georgetown). From the event description from AEI:

In important cases that will be argued before the end of the year, the U.S. Supreme Court will address central questions of federalism and interstate commerce. Ashcroft v. Raich presents the question of whether the Commerce Clause authorizes Congress to criminalize the mere possession of marijuana, even where state laws specifically permit the use and possession of the substance for medical purposes. Granholm v. Heald and Swedenburg v. Kelly ask whether state governments may prohibit the direct shipment of wine from out-of-state wineries to in-state consumers, even where in-state wineries may conduct such sales.Behind the difficult legal questions posed by these cases lies contemporary federalism’s twofold affliction: federal meddling in local affairs and state meddling in interstate commerce and the national economy. Do the upcoming cases provide an opportunity to re-draw sensible lines between national or local matters, or will they merely deepen the federalism muddle?
