to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>Writing for a three-judge panel, \u200bCircuit Judge Edith Hollan Jones said the ban actually reduced tax revenue by preventing distilling in the first place, unlike laws that regulated the manufacture and labeling of distilled spirits on which \u200bthe government could collect taxes.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter

tax collectors, including remote work and \u200chome-based \u2060businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout any limiting principle, the government\u2019s theory would violate this court\u2019s obligation to
