They’re already doing it. To people who practice their constitutional right that clearly states “shall not be infringed”.

A good response would have been, “Well, I suppose you know that any government that could prescribe such a thing, would also be able to criminalize being a Liberal Leftist too. Isn’t it great the U.S. Constitution, cherished by Conservatives and detested by the Liberal Leftists, won’t allow it?”

Inouye was never in an internment camp. Japanese Americans (Isei and Nisei) on the mainland were sent to the camps. Japanese Americans in Hawaii were not.

I know a lot of people on here don’t care for Glenn Beck, but he has been saying for quite some time now that they will become more and more bold about who they really are and what they intend for this country (and that is happening as we speak). The question is, what do we do about it when the balloon goes up?

If we ended up in a serious all out war with several middle eastern countries, would I have a problem excluding muslims from the military? No. Or interning all middle easterners and/or muslims? Id probably be for it. The problem, of course, is that any government that has the power to "intern[] all middle easterners and/or muslims" necessarily also has the power to intern you and I. Doesn't take much to become an "enemy" fit for internment.

Only this time patriot citizens will be interned.
To: DannyTN
So how do you justify confiscation of their property, including homes and land?

It may even be more likely to happen in this day and age. Note that liberals submitted petitions to Whitehouse.gov to have tea party conservatives prosecuted for treason. If liberals gained absolute control of the government, they wouldn’t hesitate. Internment camps would be the LEAST of our worries.

Funny how Scalia just assumes he’ll be on the outside of the barbed wire should his prediction materialize.

FEMA has built them already. It’s just a matter of when the order is given, and how quickly we can take out the order-givers.

Inouye was never in an internment camp. Right, he was in college, the author of the article made a pretty big error, I also thought that he should not have made the Medal of Honor award sound like it was made during the war.

"So how do you justify confiscation of their property, including homes and land?"I don't. I'm not sure how much was confiscated by the government. It look like they lost a lot to theft. And the lost a lot because many were in farm tenant arrangements where they didn't own the land and it got leased out to someone else during the internment.

Question: how well armed were those loyal Japanese-Americans who were rounded up and imprisoned?
Thought so.

Yes, Inouye was a student at the University of Hawaii when the enlistment ban on Japanese-Americans was lifted and he joined what would become the 442nd RCT. The article is incorrect about this.
But Scalia is right. The Court has never overruled Koramatsu.
