Yet again they are targeting the vulnerable of society, and trying to disenfranchise them. But if course, the cruelty is the point.
I bet I can guess the skin color of the average homeless person’s skin color in Georgia.
Since when did skin colours have skin colours?
Freckles
I guess the rights of Americans are just suggestions. fucking assholes.
Just make everyone in the US get a national ID number.
And I don’t mean social security number, but a real ID number with checksums and protections built in.
And exactly no legal case will be made in relation to this, because you can only make a case if you have standing, and what homeless person has the time or money to do that?
Yes, time, because it takes time to appear in court and work with attorneys, and when you’re homeless, you kind of need to spend that time just getting by.
This is what groups like the ACLU are for, though I’d imagine that kind of help really depends on the strategic context. It’s difficult to make any case in this climate knowing the highest court is so corrupted.
You’d still have to find a willing petitioner who has standing, and is able to go all the way through the (likely) multi-year process.
Wait a second, I bet you could do that with a vandweller or an RV retiree? But then I am also thinking … how do you determine what district or state someone is qualified to be registered in if they don’t have an address? This gets complicated, I think.
Whatever method they use to charge homeless people with crimes I suppose. They might have to set up a PO box or something somewhere.
Crimes are charged where the crime took place, where you live doesn’t matter.
You can be charged with a crime in a place you don’t have residence.
Yes, I’m saying if you can process someone for a crime without a home address you can do it for a lawsuit. It’s not some insurmountable hurdle.
Most homeless people do not start homeless, so they will have established residency somewhere at some point in their lives. Even if it hasn’t been updated since they were kids. You are always assumed a resident of a place until you change it to something else. It doesn’t really expire
Back to the landowner class, eh?
“The pursuit of happiness…” if you’re a property owning white male. Going back to our roots, unfortunately.
Still have to come up with a way to get the renters off next.
Rent increases moving along nicely.
And now that homelessness is illegal, the
prisonslave labor force will be growing
Honestly Republicans are among the lowest income families and most of them rent, requiring land ownership could very well cost Trump the presidency.
Golly, that sounds unconstitutional as fuck…
The sad part is it’s probably not. We started off only letting land owners vote, I have a feeling were like one self serving interpretation of the law away from going back.

It is abso-fucking-lutely unconstitutional as hell, but a corrupt supreme court may well make it legal like Palpatine. Your fear is not unfounded.
The right violates the constitution all the time without consequences. Rule of law really is an illusion at this point.
Always has been an illusion.
