DESCRIPTION:Emergency Meeting on the Supreme Court Ruling on the Anti-Camping Laws in 
 the Grants Pass v Johnson Case\n\n“Homelessness is complex,” wrote 
 Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, writing for the majority. “Its 
 causes are many. So may be the public policy responses required to address 
 it. At bottom, the question this case presents is whether the Eighth 
 Amendment grants federal judges primary responsibility for assessing those 
 causes and devising those responses. It does not.”\n\nRegulating camping 
 on public property does not constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” 
 under the 8th Amendment — a clause that the court said is restricted to 
 limiting the type and severity of punishment, not the reason for 
 punishment. And the types of punishment Grants Pass imposed on homeless 
 residents — “limited” fines and a maximum jail sentence of 30 days 
 — don’t qualify as cruel and unusual because they aren’t designed to 
 impose “terror, pain or disgrace,” he wrote.\n
