Supreme Court rules cities can criminalize sleeping in public

In another 6-3 ruling Friday, the Supreme Court justices ruled that local governments can criminalize sleeping and camping on public property, prohibiting homeless people from camping there. In a blistering dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the minority: “Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime. For some people, sleeping outside is their only option. … For people who lack access to shelter, it is a punishment for being homeless. It is unconstitutional and unjust.” More on the Supreme Court’s rulings later in the show.
