If a state cannot legitimately and Constitutionally keep vagrants out from underfoot, it’s hard to imagine what power they do have. A simpler, more necessary exercise of the police power, I can’t imagine.
The dissent there’s been deleted, according to the webserver. Can it be found elsewhere?

This one helps a bit.
I can’t even imagine the gene pool the 9th circut came from. Really I can’t. Well two of them, hoping on something like a quake to shake some sense into the other two. They seem to have a cronic inability to UNDERSTAND the difference between creating law, and interpreting law!
This too shall be overturned, just another waste of money and time will be expended in the process, but when one must deal with the 9th, oh well, one must also budget for additional steps I suppose.
