My wife occasionally expresses thanks that her name wasn’t picked (she’s a Melissa, which has a radical popularity spike centered on the 70s and is therefore now middle-age coded)

At arguments in Grants Pass, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson are pummeling the Gibson Dunn attorney defending laws that punish homeless people who sleep outside. Sotomayor asks: If homeless people aren't allowed to sleep anywhere, are they supposed to just "kill themselves"?
