Sorry for the sarcasm, Chris! I have always thought Roberts is heartless and doesn't have good control of the court. It seems impossible for him to imagine being in someone else's shoes.
Sotomayor really put a boot up Theane's backside. She deserved it. Lol.
It's cute how Theane and the city pretend to really care about the homeless in terms of where they're sleeping and their safety when in fact they despise them. The spin they put on their reasoning is so transparent!
This country needs mental health and homeless reform. I don't pretend to have all the answers but the numbers grow every year. If college graduates cant afford it, how can the homeless person ever stand a chance of getting out. They can't.
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” --SCOTUS, 2024
“John Roberts displayed an alarming lack of humanity throughout the arguments on Monday”
CJ, see USCCB 👇🏻😔
“A basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. In a society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, our tradition recalls the story of the Last Judgment (Mt 25:31-46) and instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first.”
I listened to some of the oral arguments on CSPAN radio, and my non-lawyerly conclusion is that guys like Roberts, Alito and Gorsuch like to build Slippery Slopes worthy of the world’s greatest waterparks, just specially designed for their argument to slide down and end up pretty much any damn place they want them to.
Your shrewd characterization of feckless cj roberts reminds me of another moment in time - April 15, 1912. The poorer class of passengers on the Titanic were locked below and prevented from escaping on lifeboats. Movies would have us believe that there was an active effort to keep the heathens below. The author of a book called “Unsinkable” shared a different narrative - no one on the upper decks even thought about or cared for those below. They simply forgot about them. That was considered there ultimate of heartlessness.
So 112 years later, we have the us high court with an inept cj - who is as dark and uncaring as those that sank the Titanic. Some legacy for him, as the rest of us smolder.
Faux-naïf Robert’s may be the most gag inducing of them all. “What’s wrong with asking someone out for coffee?” (Counterman). “What about the small businessman with a burdensome SBA loan?” (Student debt relief)
In Colonial times, "paupers' were considered public dependents, and the towns were obligated to provide for their basic needs. The originalists on the court should consider that.
I enjoyed reading The back & forth arguments between the justices. Gorsuch seemed to be 'tossing the ball' back to the Town or State- in which case Why Do we Have a 'Supreme Court'??
This is a sad situation that has been going on for decades. Not sure what the reasons were but we used to have state mental hospitals for people with mental illnesses now closed down. Most families are not equipped to deal with mental illness especially if the person also has a drug problem. But for a Christian nation we sure are a heartless bunch.
The “Agenda 47” statement of DJT dated April 18, 2023 proposes “tent cities” on “large parcels of inexpensive land” as new destinations “to get the homeless off our streets.” Imagine the jurisprudential discussion we might hear from this court on laws implementing such a “program” as that.
Trying to figure how they will rule? Mostly likely it's a criminal offense to be homeless. It's a heartless society that cares little for its own. Peace
Homelessness is a policy choice. Finland solved it's homelessness problem by, get this, giving them unconditional housing🤷♀️

Roberts is an arrogant piece of shit.

I wonder how many empty
buildings there are in Grant's
Pass that could be used as
city shelters, so their parks
and public spaces appear
pristine?
My mouth actually dropped
open on Robert's remarks.

For all the Catholics aka Christians (including Roberts) on the Court, what would Pope Francis say? What would Jesus say?
