Maybe Ms. Feinstein forgot, but I think she was there;

In 1919 the US Congress (Senate Included) passed the Amendment XVIII (Prohibiting the sale, manufacture, transportation, importation & exportation of intoxicating liquors) Now, let recall, did this operation of law yeild the desired result? Well if that result was make some mobsters & the Kennedy's wealthy then it did.

But alas,
Amentment XXI (Repealed Amendment XVIII).
So I guess it didn't quite work as expected, or maybe it just helped to make a big mess even messier.

Why on earth would she think that a legislative body could do what common sense cannot? This type of attitude blows me away.
