How would anyone mount a Supreme Court challenge against this? I'm not understanding what relief the feds could request.

What do you guys think? If I were a anti-marijuana strategist, I'd wait for the issue to cool off and only touch it in the abstract. ("Democrats are so evil, they give marijuana to children!") My fear with arguing the specific example is that it could backfire spectacularly. I'm imagining a chemo-afflicted little girl sitting opposite to some anti-marijuana pundit and asking, tears in her eyes, "Why do you want me to hurt again?"

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:Yeah but that doesn't have anything to do with whether its a state store or not - unless you take the generally unfounded, but common, ideological position that state run enterprises are necessarily more inefficient than private ones. All you really need is the assumption that monopolists use their market power to increase their profits. That, and 'binding constraints are bad'. So, a system of state-only liquor stores would be inconvenient even if the state was good at running stuff. The state would have a monopolist's incentives. And the 'only in specialized stores' restriction would keep me from being able to pick up beer at various convenience stores.
