A homeless shelter wrote an amicus brief in the Grant’s Pass case.
They argued SCOTUS should let the city arrest the homeless because, and I am not shitting you, the ban on doing so meant less people were willing to abide by their “two church services a day and no sex” requirement to sleep inside.
Gorsuch literally wrote, in almost those exact same words, "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
"Given the choice, people would rather sleep outside than stay in our shelter, therefore we shouldn't give them a choice" is both a brutal self-own and the core of conservative ideology
We seem to be inching closer & closer to the point where the 1% just says "Fuck 'em - feed 'em all to the fishes." When that's done, we'll be fish food - and they'll have the 5% of the world that's still liveable all to themselves. And they'll have a shitload of fat fish to eat.
