[Tree] Supreme Court ruling on punishing homeless people

Version 0.27 (2024-06-30 01:29:20.017000)

updates: The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the City of Grants Pass, allowing cities to punish homeless people for existing without shelter. The court declared that homelessness is not protected by the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch wrote for the majority, stating that the Eighth Amendment does not authorize federal judges to dictate the nation's homelessness policy. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented, stating that punishing people for being homeless is inhumane and unjust. The decision has been criticized for criminalizing poverty and ignoring the systemic issues that lead to homelessness.
