Oglala Tribe amends recently-filed lawsuit against beer companies
Because monitoring the amount of beer sold in a town seems like something that can be easily enforced…
The Oglala Sioux Tribe is asking a federal court to limit alcohol sales in a small Nebraska town that sells nearly 5 million cans of beer a year.
The tribe’s attorney, former state senator Tom White of Omaha, amended a lawsuit Friday that was filed Feb. 9 in U.S. District Court in Lincoln. The amendment asks the court to limit beer sales in Whiteclay to an amount "that can reasonably be consumed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska and the (tribe)."

This whole thing seems bizarre. What’s next limiting the quantity of cigarettes that can be sold to cancer patients? Actually I’d support limits on cigarettes to anyone because I hate smoking. The point is a retailer or company shouldn’t be responsible for the quantity of a legal good that a customer is using for home use. Does anyone think this will ever see the inside of a court room?
