It's a two-box day at SCOTUS, so we are expecting between two and four decisions.

First decision is Grants Pass. Gorsuch has the 6-3 opinion finding that the Eighth Amendment does not bar "generally applicable" laws banning public camping. Sotomayor writes the dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

The Grants Pass law, as Sotomayor made clear in dissent, went further, banning public sleeping with any covering, so much as a blanket, even when no other options are available. This is a very troubling ruling.

I’ve read Thomas’ concurrence. Tell me that his attack on Robinson (1962) isn’t about his desire to clear the way for LGBT identities to return to being status crimes.
