News take: Are anti-homeless laws cruel and unusual? SCOTUS will decide

gretchen172

Use your imagination to figure out how homeless people are supposed to deal with laws like the Grants Pass, Oregon, ordinance at issue when there are no shelter beds available.


A separate 9th circuit panel ruled in the Oregon case that Grants Pass could not enforce local ordinances that prohibit homeless people “from using a blanket, pillow, or cardboard boat for protection from the elements.” The decision applies across nine western states, Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.


AP has more. Maybe homeless people should just make friends with billionaires, who could gift them ( forgive the loana for) luxury campers like the one SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas got.
