The Supreme Court has decided in favor of a small Oregon town that placed civil punishments on homeless people for sleeping in public spaces, finding 6-3 the punishments don't violate the Eighth Amendment. Former federal prosecutor Scott Fredericksen joined CBS News to discuss the ruling.

So the response to the cost of living being unaffordable is to punish you for being homeless…great

@pastrie42 19 күн бұрын

it just allows them to punish you. this will allow cities to force people who are creating entire camps and disrupting the public. it also allows them to move those camps somewhere else. i get the concerns and it sucks if you become homeless, but there’s some kind of limit that needs to be placed that allows cities in california to finally take a stand.

Exactly. Here's my idea. Instead of sending all this money overseas to Ukraine and the Middle East, instead use it to fix up vacant and abandoned houses in cities all across America, and offer them as places to live for homeless individuals and families, and also some as group homes for those with developmental and/or physical disabilities. Not only are you helping the homeless population, you're also creating jobs and improving neighborhoods.

Imagine being on the streets and needing sleep but you are not allowed to because you fear going to jail or being fined. Humans need sleep it is a requirement for our survival. Banning sleeping is simply cruel unethincal and inhumane. It amounts to torture.

It's actually unconstitutional. It's the 9th Amendment that affirms that. We reserve every natural right, inalienably. The whole purpose of government is to defend our rights and general well-being. This government basically says it has no such role; it will however support corporations and foreign militaries committing genocide. The Constitution has been ignored, which has been a trend longer than I think some people realize. People have given up too easily. This is becoming a worker's prison now.

What I heard here is "communities" have the power to decide how to handle homeless people. Assuming that "communities" will actually provide some place(s) where they can move people to, and maybe some type of help to get them back on their feet (if they're able-bodied) or healthcare (if they're not), and not just criminalize them for being homeless and hanging where they are not wanted, then this may me a fair ruling. But the court seems to have left off any guidance, which mean some communities will not be fair in dealing with homelessness, and you can expect this will be in the courts again sooner, rather than later.

Communities already had the power to do everything you just said except for the criminalisation though. This ruling is just adding that power.

@Pulse992 23 күн бұрын

@@taanwallbanks9841 Communities did NOT have a clear mandate prior to this ruling. By communities, we mean the city government, not the people on the street. In New York, for example, police have come under scrutiny for attempts to move homeless out of the subway system; the MTA came under fire for removing benches that homeless used to sleep on with the specific intent of making it more difficult for them to sleep in the subway. So, the communities did not always have that power before SCOTUS’ current ruling that they do. Now we'll need to keep watch and see what cities across America who have issues with homelessness does with that.

@@taanwallbanks9841 You’re even misinterpreting what YOU’VE said, which was, “Communities already had the power to do everything you just said….” In your modified statement you’ve added, “…communities have always had the power to provide places for homeless people…”. What good is being able to provide places if you can’t force them to go there? Going further with the New York example, even when the city had places, shelters, for people to go, people would often refuse to go there, preferring the subway, the park’s, or the streets, and the city had been restricted from forcing them to go. So the new ruling does break new ground. My observation is that the ruling leaves a lot of room for implementation of unfair practices, which inevitably will form the basis for future court challenges. And homeless people, who have nothing and no way to defend themselves (except violence) will end up suffering the consequences till then.

@taanwallbanks9841 22 күн бұрын

@@Pulse992 the point is if there's adequate housing you wouldn't need to force them to go there. And this case wasn't about that. It was about if you could punish people for sleeping rough even when there isn't adequate shelter. That's the only thing this ruling changed.
