Lips so pursed:

The Grants Pass case, SCOTUS’ first big homelessness case in a while, dropped. 6-3 conservative majority.
“Held: The enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” prohibited by the Eighth Amendment.”
Sotomayor writes the dissent.
“I remain hopeful that someday in the near future, this Court will play its role in safeguarding constitutional liberties for the most vulnerable among us. Because the Court today abdicates that role, I respectfully dissent.

So where are homeless people supposed to go?
There are no Federally funded mental hospitals any longer.
There aren’t enough beds in shelters and the religious shelters that do exist may deny LGBTQ people or require non-religious people to participate in religion to stay.
Rehab is expensive, requires willing participants, and there aren’t enough support workers for when they leave.
So where are the homeless supposed to go? Where are they supposed to get the help they need?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court overrules Chevron on a 6-3 ideological vote.
Explained this way: The Chevron Deference was a doctrine that stated that courts across the country are required to defer to a federal agency’s reasonable interpretation of a statute that is ambiguous.

Chevron is now overruled. The administrative state just died. The imperial judiciary joins the imperial presidency, relegating Congress to a secondary role except when it legislates with unrealistic specificity and foresight.

We have the fourth and final opinion in Fischer v US
It is by the Chief Justice, and the vote is 6-3. Barrett dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.
This was a case about whether a federal law that makes it a crime to corruptly obstruct congressional inquiries and investigations can be used to prosecute participants in the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol. The question comes to the court in the case of a former Pennsylvania police officer who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The court holds that to prove a violation of the law, the government must show that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding, or attempted to do so.

I want to be clear on the cases dealing with abortion. In their complete arrogance, they really thought that half the population of the country would just slink away, and be ok with losing body autonomy. That we haven’t, and that it’s become a loser for the Republican Party, they’re trying to be too cute by half because of the November 2024 Elections. Remember the abortion medication case was dismissed because of ‘lack of standing’. The question of whether the drug should be used and whether the FDA should have approved it – that wasn’t settled. The forced birth caucus has already told you that they are going to bring it back.

Justice Jackson in the Idaho abortion decision: “To be clear: Today’s decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho. It is delay. While this Court dawdles and the country waits, pregnant people experiencing emergency medical conditions remain in a precarious position, as their doctors are kept in the dark about what the law requires. This Court had a chance to bring clarity and certainty to this tragic situation, and we have squandered it. And for as long as we refuse to declare what the law requires, pregnant patients in Idaho, Texas, and elsewhere will be paying the price. Because we owe them—and the Nation—an answer to the straightforward pre-emption question presented in these cases, I respectfully dissent.”
