More on the Grants Pass Case

The U.S. Supreme Court’s agreement last Friday to review an appeal by the City of Grants Pass challenging a Ninth Circuit ruling which is blocking the enforcement of ordinances prohibiting camping on streets and in parks, has garnered national attention. While that ruling (Martin v. City of Boise) only affects the nine western states in the Ninth Circuit, twenty states have submitted argument to the high court seeking to overturn the Martin ruling in the case of City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, including Texas, Oklahoma and Florida. CJLF has filed a brief in that case and Legal Director Kent Scheidegger was a guest yesterday’s John Kobylt show, the most listened to talk radio broadcast in Los Angeles, to discuss it. Here’s the link to the podcast. The interview is at 24 minutes into hour 2 of the show.
