California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants the Supreme Court to make it easier to clear homeless encampments. Advocates say that will make the crisis worse.

• The Supreme Court will review a Ninth Circuit decision protecting unsheltered homelessness. 
• It bars cities and states from clearing homeless encampments if there's not enough space in shelters.
• Some Democrats, including CA Gov. Gavin Newsom, are siding with conservatives on the issue. 

The Supreme Court earlier this month announced it would take up the most consequential case dealing with homelessness in decades.
