The US Supreme Court cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places yesterday, overturning a ruling from a California-based appeals court that found such laws amount to cruel and unusual punishment when shelter space is lacking.The case is the high court's most significant ruling on the issue in decades and comes as a rising number of people in the US are without a permanent place to live.In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the high court found that outdoor sleeping bans don't violate the Eighth Amendment.
