U.S. Supreme Court sides with Oregon city, allows ban on homeless people sleeping outdoors

Fox News

The Supreme Court ruled authorities can in fact penalize people for sleeping in public parks and streets.  I’m Tomi Lahren, more next. It’s been dubbed the “anti-camping” law in Oregon and last week the Supreme Court upheld it.  In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that Grant Pass, Oregon’s controversial ordinance cracking down on homeless camping free-for-alls in public parks and streets is in fact not “cruel and unusual punishment.” The penalty for such action is a fine or even possible jail time and while some bleeding hearts are up-in-arms, it makes perfect sense that homeless people shouldn’t sprawl out wherever they please. Why should taxpayers have our parks and public areas turned into slumber parties for the homeless- many of whom are actively using drugs and/or mentally ill?! States pump billions of our tax dollars into the homeless crisis in the naive hope we won’t have to jump over addicts sprawled out in our public parks and streets.  The Supreme Court did the right thing!  I’m Tomi Lahren and you watch my show “Tomi Lahren is Fearless” at Outkick.com

Big news out of the Supreme Court that's going to impact homeless policies across the nation, including here in Florida. On a recent ruling, the Supreme Court decided 6-3 in favor of a small Oregon town’s right to prohibit homeless people from camping in public spaces. The ruling said that fining or imprisoning homeless individuals for sleeping outside, even if no shelter space is available, doesn’t violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
