Another State Faces 21st Amendment Lawsuit. Welcome Iowa to the Lawsuit Club.

Iowa has recently joined the ranks of states having a federal court determining the future of its state alcohol laws.  Indiana University Professor James Tanford has filed another Dormant Commerce Clause lawsuit this one challenging provisions in the Iowa alcohol code dealing with reciprocity for direct shipping.  A copy of this lawsuit can be found here.   By my rusty calculations this is state number 27 to be have its alcohol laws challenged in federal court in the past five years.
