Do unhoused people have a right to sleep without being arrested when they have no where else to go? That's at the heart of Grants Pass v Johnson. I wrote about the case and the cities and states working to criminalize unhoused people. Edited by @dceiver.bsky.socialnewrepublic.com/article/1786...

As the high court deliberates, policymakers are preparing for the possibility that they might solve a problem they created in the most punitive way.

Sotomayor asking if they wanted the unhoused to just kill themselves was spot on impressive.

If anyone wants to commission me to write about the arguments and the case....please do.
