Gorsuch: Founders 'Habitual Drunkards' Under Gun Ban Law?
Supreme Court justices grill the feds over a federal law disarming anyone deemed an "unlawful user" of drugs like marijuana, even without proof of danger or intoxication. Justice Neil Gorsuch skewers the government's historical analogue, pointing out Founding Fathers like John Adams (daily hard cider), James Madison (pint of whiskey), and Thomas Jefferson (three or four glasses of wine nightly) drank heavily by today's standards - yet they weren't disarmed as "habitual drunkards.
