The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with six homeless people from Boise, Idaho, who sued the city in 2009 over a local ordinance that banned sleeping in public spaces.


This is what is at stake at this week's Supreme Court confirmation hearings. The people did not vote for homeless to be able to sleep on the streets. The people's representatives did not pass a law to allow people to sleep on the streets. The Royal Imperial Federal Court ruled that people can sleep on the streets the citizens of the cities be damned.

One reason to live in an area that has truly miserable weather.

Fine. Let them sleep on the streets then and discontinue all “homeless” funding and ban people from giving them anything.

We are a free nation ... if someone wants to sleep on the streets in our country they are free to do so. As long as they are citizens and subject to our same laws. Leave them be.

Stopping vagrants from sleeping on sidewalks and streets isn’t a punishment. They are not prisoners, they’re a public nuisance.

Hire buses, fill them up with the homeless and unload the bus in front of the judge’s homes.

It’s not cruel and unusual punishment. And if it isn’t then the homeless can happily take up residence on the property of the 9th circuit judges’.

Wonder which freaking California imported lawyer pulled this crap. Next they will be craping in the streets like the Bio-Hazard filled streets these sick and twisted Federal Judges live amongst. The tyranny of the courts strikes again against the American people, the State of Idaho, and the residents of Boise.

We are beginning to be overrun in Idaho with idiots from California and Pudget Sound that have already soiled their original homes and are working hard to soil our home. We were stationed in Colorado Springs when the left coast invasion hit there. So glad we escaped in 2001 for Idaho, but not sure how much longer we have until they ruin this state.

You can’t make it a crime to be poor.

Trump needs to tell us what his schedule is for filling THE SEVEN VACANCIES ON THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT! He has appointed ONLY ONE JUDGE TO THAT MISERABLE POS COURT!

FWIW he has nominated three, so what’s the hold up? Is it the GOPee Senate?
What’s the picture in other Circuit Courts, Federal Judges? These people are constantly trying to thwart Trump’s agenda, so why is there so much foot dragging?

If you truly have no home to sleep in...

you clearly cannot insert yourself onto private property...

That basically just leaves public property. If that is forbidden, then it basically becomes a crime for you to exist.

Another alternative is needed. Sadly, most shelters are mostly full, most of the time. What is the next option?

Can they pour water on them to get them to move - or bump them with a broom so one can finish sweeping up?

Vagrancy laws are unconstitutional?

So why bother with the city ordinance? Or will it only be selectively enforced/prosecuted now? Homeless won’t be prosecuted, but anyone else - who looks like they could pay the fine...bet you they get tagged...
