Spirits, Spoilers, and Supreme Court Substitutes

Richard Epstein, John Yoo, and Charles C.W. Cooke Oct 28, 2026

In this episode of Law Talk, Richard Epstein, John Yoo, and Charles C.W. Cooke discuss The Buckeye Institute’s monumental case challenging the federal prohibition on home distilling: U.S. Department of Justice v. McNutt (formerly McNutt v. U.S. Department of Justice), which the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear, and whether the federal government can ban you from making whiskey in your own home. Law Talk is a podcast of the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
