In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a small Oregon town to criminalize camping in public spaces.HARRISBURG, Pa. — In a major decision, the Supreme Court made its ruling in the Grants Pass v. Johnson case.
Dickinson College president John Jones, who is a former federal judge, said the justices had to answer whether these encampment bans violate the Constitution. In the majority opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that homelessness is a complex issue with many causes. However, he argued that the 8th Amendment does not give federal judges the job of,"assessing those causes and devising those responses.
Aisha Mobley, who is an advocate for people struggling with homelessness in Harrisburg, believes the ruling would allow people to be moved and punished for sleeping outside, without giving them a place to go.
