Several of the vagrants sued, saying the city’s laws violated the 9th Circuit’s edict and thus violated the Constitution.

I'm totally certain that no vagrant filed any lawsuit, but rather that lawyers were paid by Leftist NGOs to file.

“Several of the vagrants sued”

Simple solution-

the vagrants live it up on the lawns of the attorneys and money behind the vagrants suing.

With the removal of the vagrancy laws in the 1970s the free museums and libraries became flop houses for bums. Last time I was at a BIG library in the hot summer all the lounge chairs had sleeping bums in them. Then a couple of years later they had to close due to a bed bug infestation.

Museums started charging a fee to go inside. Taking Wino liquor money was too much for the bums so they instead piled into the cool free libraries.

Never saw a bum begging on a street corner till the vagrancy laws were removed.

So we should just leave the local jail cell key hanging up for them to let themselves in at night, like Andy and Barney did for Otis when he was on a bender?

Justice Clarence Thomas noted that the original plaintiffs face only civil penalties, not criminal ones, and that the Eighth Amendment’s “cruel and unusual punishment” clause has never been applied to civil matters.

Wow, Justice Thomas has spoken more in the past month than probably throughout the rest of his time on the SCOTUS. Appears there are lots of holes in the briefs presented.
