I went back and re-read that portion of the Wiki, and I'm shocked that the Supreme Court ruled Constitutional the way the Japanese American's civil rights were violated. I certainly don't think this could happen today except in the undeniable presents of the gravest threat to the American people. I simply misread the below except thinking the Supreme Court ruled the treatment of Japanese American people as unconstitutional. The Supreme Courts upholding of President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 is also one of the most shameful ruling ever handed down by the Surpeme Court in the history of the US. These were decisions based on FEAR. The Fear.
#------------------------------------------ President Franklin Roosevelt authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones", from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps. In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the exclusion, removal, and detention, arguing that it is permissible to curtail the civil rights of a racial group when there is a "pressing public necessity." #------------------------------------- Regards, LelandJ President Franklin Roosevelt <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Roosevelt> authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_9066>, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones", from which "any or all persons may be excluded."
