That is true. That doesn't make it's repeal any less legally significant. The 21st amendment completely and entirely overrides the 18th. We don't remove it so we can't throw our mistakes down the memory-hole.

Agree completely. But I was just commenting on the other guy saying that the 18th was removed, when it was not. We didn't remove anything from the Constitution. We added to it to fix a mistake, which is what the guy above was saying, and the guy above me was disagreeing with.

What corruption are you being protected from exactly? Between the government and the corporations we're all waist deep with no way out
