"High Court Upholds Injunction: Disputed Land Construction Halted Amid Ancestral Property Claims"
If the property is found to be Joint Hindu Family Property, any sale of a specific piece of land without partition is impermissible.
The case involves a dispute over land that was purchased by the petitioners.
The petitioners filed this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to challenge the temporary injunction orders passed by the 9th Civil Judge Junior Division and the order was affirmed by the 4th District Judge, Rewa. The injunction restrained the petitioners from raising construction on the land they purchased.
The respondents had filed a suit in 2012 seeking a declaration of title, partition, and injunction, along with challenging the validity of Wills and Sale Deeds related to the disputed property.
Ahmad Khan & Others v. Bhaskar D Datt & Others
Misc. Pet. 4060/2023
Before HC of Madhya Pradesh at Jabalpur
Heard by Hon'ble Mr. Justice G S Ahluwaia J
Legal Issue
Whether the temporary injunction issued by the lower courts was justified, particularly when the sale deeds were executed during a period when no injunction was in force, and whether Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act applies to these sale deeds executed during the pendency of the suit.
Argument of the parties
Petitioners submission: Argued that since the sale deeds were executed during a time when no temporary injunction was in force, they should not be restrained from constructing on the land. They also contended that the purchasers (petitioners) were bona fide buyers, and the injunction causes irreparable loss.
Respondents Submission: Claimed that the disputed property is ancestral and has not been partitioned, so the sale deeds executed by defendants were invalid. They argued that the land could not be alienated without partition, and the injunction was necessary to preserve the status quo.
Court's Observation
The Court observed that under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, any sale deed executed during the pendency of a suit does not become void but is subject to the final outcome of the suit. The Court also noted that if the property is found to be Joint Hindu Family Property, any sale of a specific piece of land without partition is not permissible. Therefore, the lower courts' temporary injunction was appropriate to prevent potential irreparable harm.
Order:
The petition was dismissed by the High Court, the Court didn't found any jurisdictional error in the orders passed by the trial and appellate courts. The temporary injunction order restraining the petitioners from raising construction was upheld.

Shame on the Appeals Court - 03/20/2024
Late yesterday, the 5th Circuit Federal Appeals Court blocked Texas with a temporary injunction from enforcing their SB4 law which would allow Texas to arrest and deport migrants who enter their state illegally. Earlier yesterday, the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) issued an emergency appeal to remove a previous stay that was blocking SB4, a huge win for Texas. I didn't know that a Supreme Court appeal could be blocked by a lower Federal Court of Appeals, and they did so in the same day, crazy. So, Texas went from celebrating a victory for border security, to going back to being angrily frustrated at not being able to stop the stampede of illegal crossings. The 5ht circuit is entertaining arguments today on whether to stay the injunction, pending the outcome of an appeal at the SCOTUS.
âA majority of the panel has concluded that the administrative stay entered by a motions panel on March 2, 2024, should be lifted,â the unsigned order by the court reads. Yesterday, on March 19th, circuit judge Andrew Oldman disagreed: âI would leave that stay in place pending tomorrowâs oral argument on the question.â That was just hours after the SCOTUS had rejected an emergency request from the Biden jackasses to look at the administrative stay directed by the 5th Circuit's prior panel. The DOJ's (Department of Justice) stance on the law is that it violates the Constitution's Supremacy Clause which declares that states do not have the right to enforce immigration laws.
As per usual with emergency appeals, the Supreme Court did not give a reason for issuing their order. Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amey Coney Barrett issued aligning opinions. Barrett wrote on regarding actions of the high court: ânever reviewed the decision of a court of appeals to enterâor not enterâan administrative stay.â She continued, that it is âunwise to invite emergency litigation in this Court about whether a court of appeals abused its discretion at this preliminary step.â
Liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson had dissenting opinions. Sotomayor said the order âinvites further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement.â She went on to write that the law âupends the federal-state balance of power that has existed for over a century, in which the National Government has had exclusive authority over entry and removal of noncitizens.â - I say, bullstit! States have always had the legal right and shared responsibility for protecting their sovereignty. Yesterday, the Mexican government said that it will not accept any illegal migrants coming back to them no matter what. They said that anyone deported who is not a Mexican citizen does not have to be accepted by them.
All governor Abbott wants to do is to enforce the laws to keep his state safe and secure, and the Biden commies are doing everything they can to impede that. It's disgusting! Will this nightmare ever end? I sure hope so.

The Truth About Trumponomics
Trump and Republicans want to wreck your bank account. Here are 5 things you need to know about Trumponomics.
1.Trump wants tax cuts for the rich, at your expense.
Trumpâs tax cuts for the rich and big corporations added about $1.7 trillion to the national debt, with few benefits trickling down to the middle class â in fact, it raised taxes for more than 10 million American families.
Now Trump and Republicans want to make the tax cuts for the rich permanent, blowing up the debt even further. And then theyâll use that debt to justify this:
2. Trump would cut Social Security and Medicare â programs youâve been paying into!
In every year of his presidency, Trump submitted a budget that tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. And he knows thatâs the only way he can even begin to pay for extending his tax cuts for the rich.
3. Trump and his allies are pro-junk fee.
When the Biden administration issued a rule capping credit card late fees at $8, Sen. Tim Scott, a Trump surrogate, tried to overturn it in the Senate. And then a Trump-appointed judge issued a temporary injunction that blocked the rule from taking effect. Eliminating that rule would cost American families an estimated $10 billion a year.
And when the Biden administration required airlines to issue automatic refunds for canceled flights, Trumpâs allies in Congress fought to block that too.
When Trump was in office, his administration fought against efforts to rein in airline junk fees.
Corporations nickel and diming us like this makes inflation worse. If Trump gets back in the White House, buckle up for more junk fees.
4. Trump would send health care costs soaring.
Republicans have committed to repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, which would strip Medicare of the ability to negotiate drug prices, and let Big Pharma send the price of insulin and other life-saving medicines back through the roof.
And Trump is still fixated on repealing Obamacare, with no plan to replace it.
TRUMP: Obamacare is a disaster. Weâre gonna do something about it.
That would strip coverage from tens of millions of Americans, drive up premiums, and let insurers charge more or deny coverage to people with preexisting conditions.
5, If youâve got student debt, youâre out of luck with Trump.
In contrast to President Biden, whoâs canceled more than $160 billion of student debt so far, Trump is against student debt relief. In his first term, he tried to eliminate the popular Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for people like teachers and nurses, and heâs called the idea of debt relief âunfair.â
Whatâs unfair, is how student debt hurts not just the roughly 40 million Americans burdened by it, but the entire economy, since Americans with debt have less money to spend, are less likely to start a business, less likely to buy a home, and more likely to rely on government assistance.
The MAGA agenda would make nearly every aspect of your life more expensive, while making the richest Americans even richer.
Teddy Rooseveltâs economic plan was called the Square Deal. Franklin Rooseveltâs was the New Deal.
What Trump is offering is simply a Raw Deal.

We're sick and tired of voting discourse. I'm sick and tired of voting discourse. So this is going to be the last thing I say, for all of 2024, about "voting discourse":
No, the Democrats won't save us; no, voting is not a substitute for direct action. But not voting makes direct action harder. Repeat that to yourself until you're not going to forget it. Not voting makes direct action harder. Not voting makes direct action harder.
What kind of direct action do you care about? Copwatching? Filming the police? The Arizona legislature tried its hardest to outlaw that. While controlled by Republicans. In case you couldn't guess. (The judge that overturned that law was an Obama appointee.)
Donating to bail funds? Georgia's Republican legislature effectively outlawed said bail funds, barring a temporary court injunction (issued by a Biden appointee). The U.S. House has been angling towards similar moves against bail funds, which have so far not reached the Senate.
Do you care about protesting? If you want to minimize your chance of getting jailed for it â not completely eliminate, but minimize â then you have to pay attention to your county prosecutor election. Care about harm reduction via needle exchanges, and test strips for drug users? You have to care about your city council. I'm genuinely sorry about that one, because I hate the struggle of finding information on local candidates too â but you have to, I have to, we all have to.
Yes, of course it's naive to pretend voting will fix all our problems. Of course it's naive to think Democrats are our best friends. But you know what else is naive? Mumbling some excuse of "direct action is better" when people ask why you're not voting, and then not thinking at all about how election outcomes will affect the direct action you purport to value. So like. Think about that.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:
The Supreme Court temporarily put on hold on Thursday an Environmental Protection Agency plan to curtail air pollution that drifts across state lines, dealing another blow to the Biden administrationâs efforts to protect the environment.
The ruling followed recent decisions chipping away at the agencyâs authority to address climate change and water pollution.
Under the proposal, known as the âgood neighborâ plan, factories and power plants in Western and Midwestern states must cut ozone pollution that drifts into Eastern ones. The emissions cause smog and are linked to asthma, lung disease and premature death.
The ruling was provisional, but even the temporary loss for the administration will suspend the plan for many months and maybe longer.
The vote was 5 to 4. Writing for the majority, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch said the courtâs ruling was modest, pausing the administrationâs plan in light of developments in lower courts. He said the Supreme Courtâs stay would remain in place while a federal appeals court in Washington considered the matter and, after that, until the Supreme Court acts on any appeal.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by the courtâs three liberal members, issued a spirited dissent predicting that the majority had created a âyearslong exercise in futility.â
âGiven the number of companies included and the timelines for review,â she wrote, âthe courtâs injunction leaves large swaths of upwind states free to keep contributing significantly to their downwind neighborsâ ozone problems for the next several years.â
She called one argument set out in the majority opinion âa feeble response.â Another, she said, âthrows at the wall a cherry-picked assortment of E.P.A. statements.â
âNone stick,â she added.
Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund, criticized the majorityâs approach as reckless.

âOppressiveâ child labor found at poultry plantâs kill floor after teenâs death, feds say
Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article288585497.html
A U.S. chicken producer is again facing child labor accusations after a 16-year-old worker was killed at its poultry plant in Mississippi last July, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
On May 1, four teenagers, including two 16-year-olds and two 17-year-olds, were found working on the kill floor at Mar-Jac Poultryâs processing facility in Jasper, Alabama, federal court filings show.
With three teensâ shifts starting at 11 p.m. â and a fourth teenâs shift starting at 8:30 p.m. â they were each tasked with âhanging live chickens on hooks for slaughter and cutting meat from the carcasses,â according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
This violates federal child labor provisions in place to protect minors from dangerous jobs that have proven deadly.
On July 14, 2023, Duvan Robert Tomas Perez, a 16-year-old migrant from Guatemala, was killed while cleaning a chicken deboning machine at Mar-Jacâs plant in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, according to a wrongful death lawsuit, McClatchy News previously reported.
The Labor Departmentâs Occupational Safety and Health Administration found Perez was fatally pulled into the âstill-energizedâ machine because Mar-Jac Poultry MS LLC âdisregarded safety standards.â
OSHA cited the company over his death in January, according to a news release.
Now, the Labor Department is seeking a court order to stop Mar-Jac from selling and shipping âpoultry tainted by oppressive child laborâ from the companyâs plant in Alabama, court filings say.
An âurgentâ request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction filed by Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su asks the court to prevent Mar-Jac Poultry of Alabama, LLC, from profiting off products linked to child labor.
Following the request, an evidentiary hearing was held on May 14 and May 15, Mar-Jac said in a May 20 news release provided to McClatchy News in response to a request for comment.
Instead of granting the request, the court ordered Su to submit a brief by May 28 and ordered Mar-Jac to submit a response to the brief by June 4, the release said.
What Mar-Jac says about the child labor accusations
In a response filed May 8, Mar-Jac contends it offered to stop shipping poultry produced on the May 1 shift, when the alleged child labor violations involving the four teens were uncovered by the Labor Departmentâs Wage and Hour Division.
However, the Wage and Hour Division ârejected that offer and demanded Mar-Jac not ship goods in interstate commerce for the next 30 days,â the filing says.
This would âwould put more than 1000 workers out of their jobs for that 1-month period and disrupt the supply chain, adversely affecting hundreds more workers involved in growing and transporting poultry products,â Mar-Jac said in its news release.
Mar-Jac refused the divisionâs demand and argues that the company was unaware three of the four minor employees were underage.
According to the Labor Department, Wage and Hour Division investigators learned the four teens âhad been working at the facility for months,â a complaint says.
The department has declared all chicken produced by Mar-Jac up until May 31 are âhot goodsâ that are âtainted by child labor,â according to the complaint.
Mar-Jac maintains three of the four teens showed documents that claimed they were older than 17 and were then verified as over 18, according to the May 8 court filing.
The company says it âimmediately dischargedâ the three minors after learning they were underage and denied that they worked on the Alabama plantâs kill floor, the filing says.
As for the fourth minor, Mar-Jac said federal investigators havenât identified the teen, âmaking it impossible for Mar-Jac to end the alleged (child labor) violation,â according to the filing.
On May 14, the Labor Department called Mar-Jacâs response a âmisguided attempt to persuade this Court to allow (the company) to flout the inherent dangers of oppressive child labor,â court records show.
Mar-Jac said in the release that the company âwill continue to vigorously defend itself and expects to prevail in this matterâ and that it is âcommitted to complying with all relevant laws, including but not limited to the child labor regulations.â
Following the death of Perez at the Mississippi poultry plant, Mar-Jac acknowledged he âshould not have been hiredâ because he was under 18, according to a July 19 news release published online by WDAM-TV.
The company said the employeeâs age and identity âwere misrepresentedâ on his hiring paperwork, according to the release.
Seth Hunter, an attorney representing Perezâs mother, who is suing over his death, said in a news release provided to McClatchy News in February that Mar-Jacâs âworking conditions have to change.â
He said Chick-fil-A âis one of Mar-Jacâs largest customersâ and that Chick-fil-A and other companies âshould insist on better working conditions or stop doing business with them.â
At the time, Chick-fil-A didnât respond to McClatchy Newsâ request for comment from Feb. 5.
A few months after Perezâs death, the company told NBC News in October that âWe are reviewing our own procedures for investigation and response as we pursue the steps necessary to effectively hold all our suppliers to our high safety standards.â
Similar to Perez, a New York Times investigative report published in September found many migrant children and teens are working dangerous jobs, including at poultry plants.
Mar-Jacâs plant in Jasper, Alabama, is about a 240-mile drive west of the companyâs headquarters in Gainesville, Georgia.

đȘ STRIKE & DEAL UPDATES - Monday morning, events from Israel
ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime
âȘïžARAB IMPRESSION.. "The Israeli enemy is exhausted and its military leadership is begging for a solution despite all the threats to expand the war on the northern front with Lebanon."
âȘïžSTRIKE UPDATES..
.. The Legal Adviser to the Government instructed the Attorney's Office to contact the Labor Court with a request that it issue injunctions for the Histadrut strike.
.. This morning at 10:30 a hearing at the Labor Court. The request for a restraining order was submitted by the Bereaved Families' Heroes Forum.
.. The State to the High Court: According to the position of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance, the announced strike is political and was announced against the law. Requesting a temporary order in ex parte status.
.. Hearing postponed until 12:00 by the court.

đ¶DEAL NEWS.. Hamas leader Sinwar's deputy, Khalil al-Hiya, who is in charge of negotiations in Hamas - âAs long as the Palestinian prisoners are not released, as long as the war does not stop, as long as the army does not withdraw from the Strip and especially from Netzarim and Philadelphi - there will be no agreement. There is no real negotiation.

The fact the Saskatchewan government went outside its borders to find an expert to consult in crafting its controversial new education policy is being questioned by some critics. The policy to require parental consent for students under the age of 16 to change their names or pronouns at school was formulated and announced this summer, then challenged in court. After a Court of King's Bench judge granted a temporary injunction that halted the policy until a full hearing could be held, the government opened an emergency session of the Legislature last week and introduced legislation that invokes the nothwithstanding clause to override sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code. Court documents filed in response to the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity's challenge over the constitutionality of the initial policy have shown that the government cited one expert it relied on in coming up with the policy: Dr. Erica Anderson.Â

A federal judge issued a temporary injunction this month that partially blocked enforcement of Floridaâs ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In a 44-page opinion, Judge Robert Hinkle offered a lengthy rebuke of the arguments presented by the state of Florida to medically justify banning gender-affirming careâwhich happen to be many of the same arguments that corporate media have uncritically parroted. In the ruling, Hinkle wrote: In support of their position, the defendants have proffered a laundry list of purported justifications for the statute and rules. The purported justifications are largely pretextual and, in any event, do not call for a different result. To bolster their legal case, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantisâ administration hired consultants and expert witnesses from anti-trans organizations, including the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), which has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, to make false and misleading claims about the science behind gender-affirming care. Right-wing media outlets regularly give such sources a platform to make those claims (e.g., Fox News 3/30/23; New York Post, 1/30/23; Federalist, 2/1/23), but centrist outlets, too, often credulously air such claims, laundering them for a mainstream audience.

Federal Judge Gregory Presnell has placed a preliminary injunction on a Florida bill banning individuals under the age of 18 from attending drag performances.Â
[Note: "Preliminary injunction" means that the judge has blocked the law from going into effect. The ban is temporary, and is designed to keep the bill from being enforced or applied while the bill goes through the appeals process, where higher-level judges will rule on whether they agree with DeSantis, or with this judge.
Given how incredibly overbroad the law is, previous recent rulings on these issues, and this judge's ruling in particular, DeSantis's government will almost certainly have a difficult time convincing any not-a-total-right-wing-crony lawyer that the law is constitutional. Because, in fact, this law is a huge violation of the first amendment, which protects freedom of speech and freedom of expression.]
The law, dubbed the âProtection of Children Act,â would allow âthe Department of Business and Professional Regulation to fine, suspend, or revoke the license of any public lodging, establishment, or public food service establishment if the establishment admits a child to an adult live performance.â DeSantis previously said that drag shows, which are covered by the ban, âsexualizeâ children. Â
In his ruling, Presnell sided with Hamburger Maryâs, a restaurant that hosts drag performances and sued the DeSantis administration, claiming that the restrictions implemented by the act were too broad and not only violated their first amendment rights but unfairly harmed their business.Â
In a move the DeSantis administration likely did not see coming, Presnell cited previous laws passed by the Florida governor in his reasoning for placing an injunction on the law. Presnell wrote that the Florida government had failed to sufficiently narrow the breadth of the ban to prevent its unjust application and its âinevitable clash with the Florida âParentsâ Bill of Rightsâ and other laws.âÂ
The âParental Bill of Rightsâ was signed into law by DeSantis in July of 2021. The law, as quoted by Presnell states that âall parental rights are reserved to the parent of a minor child in this stateâŠincludingâŠ[t]he right to direct the upbringing and the moral or religious training of his or her minor child.âÂ

Swing Macabre : Les Trois GrĂąces
AlorsâŠ
Bon⊠Pour commencer, je les appelle les Trois GrĂąces, mais elles (oui, ELLES) nâont rien Ă voir avec la mythologie.
Pour ĂȘtre entiĂšrement exacte, elles ont Ă©tĂ© inspirĂ©es par le Dit des Trois Morts et des Trois Vifs.
Pour simplifier ceux qui ne connaissent pas le Dit etc etc, en gros, imaginez rencontrer trois squelettes et/ou cadavres qui vous disent : Tel que tu, tel je fus / Et tu seras tel que je suis.
Oui, ça fait un choc.
En gros, elles sont les Memento Mori de Madeleine. Elles sont là pour lui rappeler de vivre le moment présent.
Elles ont aussi des Ă©lĂ©ments des VanitĂ©s de la Renaissance, avec le miroir, la pomme dâor/les bijoux et le peigne, pour signifier que la beautĂ©, la richesse et la jeunesse sont temporaires mais plus ça va, plus jâai envie de dire que dans leur cas, ce nâest pas une leçon de morale et de piĂ©tĂ©, mais plutĂŽt lâinjonction dâen profiter.
The Three Graces
SoooooâŠ
Ok, for a start, I call them the Three Graces, but these lasses (yes, LASSES) have nothing to do with mythology.
More precisely, they were inspired by a medieval French poem: Le Dit Des Trois Morts et Des Trois Vifs (The Tale of the Three Living and the Three Dead).
So, there is no Wikipedia page about it, but basically it was a Medieval poem which later became a theme in Medieval art. Three young men are hunting, and suddenly faces three dead in gradual state of decomposition who get out of their tombs. The livings are, rightfully, freaking out, and the dead basically told them to live a better (read: more Christian) life and prepare for their upcoming death because: As you are, we were, as we are, you will be.
 Yup, they are positively sunny, arenât they?
Grosso modo, the Graces are Madeleineâs Memento Mori. They are here to remind her to live in the moment.
They also have elements from Vanitas, with the mirror, le gold apple/jewels and the comb, which means beauty, riches and youthfulness are temporary, but the more I think about it, the more I understand that, coming from the girls, it is not a moral or piety lesson, but an injunction to enjoy her life.

Wendy Williams
When my damn spidey senses kick in.
From the moment that diagnosis news went viral today, something didn't feel right. But I couldn't put my finger on it.
So Wendy's niece, Alex, went on The View today and discussed the upcoming 2-part Lifetime docuseries, Where Is Wendy Williams?, with the hosts (who all watched the series). Apparently, the series exposes the court-appointed conservatorship that bars the family. I been knew about the family being barred and not being put in the know about her whereabouts (sketchy), but not what the series features aside from Wendy. Interesting.
Peep all the details revealed and the specific questions that are asked:
youtube
Right after the interview đ€, news about Wendy having aphasia and frontotemporal dementia comes out. How convenient. Who is the damn guardian? Why is it so secretive? I google. This ho down here pops up but I also see it's made its way onto twitter:
Now this court-appointed temporary guardian has filed a lawsuit against Lifetime to block the docuseries from coming out, according to TMZ. On the same day as the interview and that diagnosis news. Clockwork. đ Per TMZ:
"Sabrina Morrissey -- who says she's acting in her capacity as temporary guardian of W.W.H. (presumably Wendy Williams Hunter) -- just filed suit against A&E Television Networks, but she did it under seal, meaning the public can't peep what exactly she's running to court for.
"Morrissey is also seeking a temporary restraining order in her action -- again, that's often the mechanism used when someone wants a judge to step in and halt the release of a film or television project. Now, what's interesting is that the judge actually ordered all the docs to remain temporarily under seal -- and set a hearing date for next week to determine whether they should stay that way as the case plays out.
"Of course, the Wendy doc drops this weekend, and while the hearing on the sealing issue falls after the release date, it's possible the court will rule on the merits of what Morrissey's asking for ... namely, injunctive relief against A&E -- while the docs are temporarily sealed. "
Leak docuseries now.

A Grants Pass city ordinance requires homeless residents living in vehicles to move every 72 hours, and police require anyone living in parks to move as often as is allowed by state law, which is also every 72 hours. City code bars anyone from sleeping in public spaces or using sleeping materials for the purpose of maintaining a temporary place to live under threat of criminal and civil penalty.
[...]
The Supreme Courtâs decision in the case out of southern Oregon, expected in June, will broadly impact how local governments write homelessness policy in the United States.
Since the Supreme Court took up the case in January, Democrat and Republican governments, district attorneys and business associations submitted amicus briefs arguing a 2022 Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals injunction removes necessary tools for enforcing laws against homeless residents sleeping on public property.
A host of organizations submitted amicus briefs in support of counsel representing homeless residents, saying laws punishing individuals for being homeless are cruel and unusual. The briefs also argued the laws do nothing to solve the homelessness crisis and will likely exacerbate the issue.
[...]
Referring to the state law, Jackson asked about âconstitutional avoidance,â a legal doctrine that would allow the Supreme Court to decline to render a decision on the constitutionality of the Grants Pass ordinance. Roberts appeared to also question the courtâs responsibility, asking why âthese nine people are the best people to judge and weigh those policy judgements.â
The lower courtâs decision will stand if the court decides not to issue a ruling as a matter of constitutional avoidance. Kelsi Corkran, Georgetown Law Supreme Court director and counsel for the class of homeless residents, told the court she would have no issues with that outcome.
If the court determined the ordinance does not violate the Eighth Amendment because Oregon has a necessity defense, the burden of proof would fall on each homeless individual to show a court they were sleeping outside for a reason, each time they received a citation.

âEnding homelessness requires collaboration and buy-in,â Rabinowitz said. âThat cannot happen when the government is focused on throwing away people's stuff and throwing folks in jail.â
Tickets can impact credit scores, making it more difficult for people to be accepted into housing, and a criminal history also creates significant barriers.
âAll of these things break connections and displace people from their chosen communities,â Rabinowitz said. âThey all make homelessness worse.â
There is a broad range for what the Supreme Court could ultimately decide, Rabinowitz said. It could uphold the 9th Circuitâs decision saying civil and criminal punishments against homeless residents for being homeless are cruel and unusual. It could say people can be fined but not arrested, or it could overturn Martin v. Boise. While there appeared to be little appetite for it in the courtroom, the court could go so far as to say it has wrongly interpreted the Eighth Amendment in cases like 1962âs Robinson v. California. That could make way for laws criminalizing other involuntary statuses.
Rabinowitz said in the best-case scenario, the Supreme Court will set a bar â albeit a low bar â saying homelessness cannot be criminalized. People still need a place to go, regardless of the courtâs decision. Until the support systems are in place to keep people from becoming homeless, the crisis will continue, according to Rabinowitz.
âHomelessness is a choice made by our elected officials every day when they fail to fund housing,â he said.
