Landor v. Louisiana Dept of Corrections and Public Safety · ¶97

Thus, one need look no further than this Court’s most canonical Spending Clause case to cast doubt on the majority’s insistence on individual consent. “If South Dakota can agree to criminalize the behavior of its 19-year-old bourbon enthusiasts, it’s unclear why Louisiana cannot agree to make its prison officials liable for forcibly shaving Damon Landor’s head.” 93 F. 4th 259, 265 (CA5 2024) (Oldham, J., dissenting from denial of rehearing en banc).
