b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie.bsky.social

1) fitting that Gorsuch, a notably cruel jurist, has the majority opinion here 2) another vindication of my view that the conservatives on the court are re-inflating the police powers of states to regulate public behavior and morality as they please

I wonder how many self-styled libertarians will be upset about this decision.

I.e., decimate the rights of individuals against the state.

FWIW, I think the angle plaintiffs should be taking is due process, not the 8th Amendment, but that's also an uphill fight.

As they strip away the concept of rule of law through contradictory, outcome-driven decisions, they must ensure the state's capacity to inflict violence on those it seems inferior remains unobstructed. Lawlessness walking hand-in-hand with cruel restrictions on citizens' lives. Federalist Freedom

It's great that we have a super parliament of unaccountable, unelected judges, and that they have all the vision, generosity, and sense of proportion of a below average HOA

In another country this ruling would say it's illegal to have homeless people sleeping rough *because the state should provide housing for all*.
