Premium Malt Lawmaking
While I was off in Key Biscayne getting savagely attacked by hundreds of giant mosquitos, DCist notes that U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer has struck down Adrian Fenty's incredibly stupid law banning the sale of 40s in his district, citing procedural problems with hearings and public notice. I would have liked some chiding from Collyer about how dumb the law is on its merits, but that would be unjudgely.
The big question now is how the new council members will vote on any future attempts by Fenty to advance this penny-ante social control. I suppose this will have more to do with whether Barry et. al. want to help with the Bald Mullah's mayoral campaign and less to do with how much they like the cool, refreshing taste of Olde English 800.

Please explain exactly what is dumb about the law. Folks in Ward 4, including me, think it's a mighty good idea. (But we live there and you don't, which causes me to wonder why you give a rat's a** about this subject.)
