Chicago Wine Co. v. Braun

The Seventh Circuit considered a constitutional challenge to provisions of Indiana law that prevent retailers of alcoholic beverages located outside the State from shipping wine to Indiana customers. Plaintiff, an Illinois wine retailer, filed a lawsuit contending that the regulatory scheme was unconstitutional under the interstate commerce clause. The district court entered summary judgment for the defendants and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit affirmed in a per curiam opinion based on two separate lines of reasoning contained in separate concurring opinions. (EASTERBROOK, separately concurring and SCUDDER, separately concurring)
