SCOTUS ruling; legal documents 

I am not a lawyer so maybe I'm missing something, but this ruling seems to make it okay to throw legal documents in the trash?

SCOTUS ruling; legal documents 

@garidin
I think it is a theme with the conservative justices.
You can have "rights" but there is zero recourse if those rights are violated.

A lot of people are missing that this case is adamantly not about rights. The petitioner did not bring a rights case before the court. That's critical to the decision.

This case was not about rights of the inmate but about an agreement between the state and federal government. The state had agreed to certain things in exchange for federal funding, and the petitioner was trying to sue by saying the state had broken the agreement.

But he wasn't part of that agreement. He didn't really have a say in the matter, even if he was impacted by it.
