Definitions from Case Law

From 299 U.S. 59 - State Board of Equalization v. Young's Market Co. · 1936Most cited · 444 citing opinions

The amendment which 'prohibited' the 'transportation or importation' of intoxicating liquors into any state 'in violation of the laws thereof,' abrogated the right to import free, so far as concerns intoxicating liquors. The words used are apt to confer upon the state the power to forbid all importations which do not comply with the conditions which it prescribes.
