Distilling is safe enough, legalize it
Many argue home distilling is no riskier than deep frying, canning or storing gasoline, that methanol fears are overblown, and that the federal ban exists only to protect tax revenue.
Real risks: explosions and methanol
Others warn that ethanol vapor near flames and poorly made spirits can hurt the distiller or the neighbours, so some suggest licensing or safety training rather than a free-for-all.
Constitutional and commerce clause angle
A legal subthread treats the case as a test of the taxing power and Wickard v. Filburn's broad reading of the Commerce Clause, and some ask why courts rather than Congress should decide it.
