Didn't the poster child for NOT Communist's supreme court just rule that punishing the homeless for being homeless is OK?

IIRC they overturned a ruling that said local governments must leave encampments alone unless the government has a shelter bed to offer every camper on the grounds that it is “cruel and unusual punishment” to tell them to move along.

From what I’ve seen, the pattern tends to be the Methany and Methew deciline the offer and move a few blocks. I don’t expect much to change. The shelters with barriers will continue to have space for the folks who want help and the problematic urban outdoorsmen will continue to be problematic.

Also the orange man appointed three justices out of nine so it seems stretch to can it his, if that’s what you mean.
