I agree. I see the usual dissenters so no surprises there.
The court holds that it does not need to reconsider its decision in Robinson v. California, in which the court held in 1962 that states could not criminalize the status of narcotic addiction. Robinson, Gorsuch writes, “cannot sustain the Ninth Circuit’s course.” In Robinson, he explains, the court “expressly recognized the ‘broad power’ States enjoy over the substance of their criminal laws.”
“The public camping ordinances at issue in this case, Gorsuch reasons, “are nothing like the law at issue in Robinson.”

We are awaiting the second opinion.
Maybe they saw that the nitwit last night looked bad and they need to undermine Trump.
Yea! There’s one for sanity
Common sense
From the Grants Pass Opinion ...
...the Ninth *Circus* held that the Eighth Amendment’s
Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause bars cities from enforcing
public-camping ordinances like these against homeless individuals...
~~~
Ha! Allowing these filthy/dangerous encampments IS ACTUAL cruel and unusual punishment!
In a dissenting opinion, Sotomayor argues that laws like the one at issue in this case punishes people who do not have access to shelter for being homeless and therefore violates the Eighth Amendment.
“It is possible to acknowledge,” she writes, “and balance the issues facing local governments, the humanity and dignity of homeless people, and our constitutional principles. Instead, the majority focuses almost exclusively on the needs of local governments and leaves the most vulnerable in our society with an impossible choice: Either stay awake or be arrested.”
Many of us feel sorry for those that are homeless through no fault of their own. But the liberals on the Supreme Court want to rule on emotions rather than on law.
The truth is that if government would get out of the way and allow private entities to solve the problem, we would not have ever increasing amounts of homelessness.
Monday has been added as an opinion day.
“Monday has been added as an opinion day.”
Thanks. I made a note of that further down in the thread.
Gorsuch is still reading from the bench. Not sure if Sotomayor will read her dissent as well.
Exactly!
And, liberals are all for mentally ill people/patients to be loosed on the streets ... with nowhere else to turn except to crime and these nasty encampments, rather than remain/be institutionalized, as many of them should be.
Amen!! 🙏🏻
“Common” sense is very rare.
Justice Sotomayor is now reading from her dissent from the bench (for the second time in two days). “Sleep,” she began, “is a biological necessity.”
I am looking forward to later dates for decisions favorable to conservative and Constitutional Values... after the DNC dumps Diaper Joe, soldifying te of the DNC presidency.
Trump will get one or two more SCOTUS replacements bringing it to 7-2 anticipating a Thomas department or wiseless latino.
So is a dirt nap, and her health concerns’ carry weight in all decisions anticipating the long nite, heavy on her mind.
“Trump will get one or two more SCOTUS replacements bringing it to 7-2 anticipating a Thomas department or wiseless latino.”
Never-Trump Republicans should vote for Trump based upon that reason alone. If they would abandon their TDS they would realize that fact.
Sotomayor seems to be finishing up. Next opinion soon.
Chevron overruled.
Woo hoo!! Great second ruling
We have the Chevron cases.
They are by the Chief.
Chevron is overruled.
This is the best news I have heard so far today!!!
Yes, indeed!
Loper opinion:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-451_7m58.pdf
The vote is 6-3 (although 6-2 in Loper-Bright because Jackson is recused). Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson as it applies to Relentless, from which she is not recused.
Like the affirmative action cases, the court did this as one opinion.
How broad or clear?
