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...
Note that these laws also harm public safety, because they divert prosecutor & public defense resources and clog the courts with cases against people who aren't a threat. Not a constitutional issue. But a significant one.
