So the law, in its majestic equality, now really does forbid both rich and poor from sleeping under bridges or otherwise camping on public property. Grants Pass v. Johnson.

Interestingly, Thomas and Gorsuch refuse to join Alito's sexist temper tantrum in *Moyle v. US*. It was too much even for them.

Barret is emerging as a leader for a more "centrist"(comparatively) block that seems to include Roberts and sometimes Kavanaugh. I wonder if she will write Looper Bright?
