"You are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again," Scalia told the University of Hawaii law school while discussing Korematsu v. United States, the ruling in which the court gave its imprimatur to the internment camps.

When the Nazi concentration camps started in 1933 with Dachau, some of the first people tossed in were judges.

What worries me in the short term is the progressive republicans aligning with the other enemies and attempting to disarm us.

And as a post script, it sounds like you have a bone to pick with Scalia, so what is it?

Scalia could work harder on Roberts (the traitor).

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

1/9th is not much power.

Not that it should not be exercised.

You forgot to mention the rest of the liberals on the SCOTUS such as Ginsberg.....

Yep, in the twisted reality of Paladin2, Scalia is an abject failure...........

I would not be surprised at all if he is not correct. With the hateful things Cuomo said about pro-life people and other groups, the first people rounded up will be the RC bishops and priests, and evangelical Christian leaders.

I think it is very likely that Christians and conservatives will be the ones sent to the camps by the left commie/fascists.

How do you exercise it? Take each opposing judge into a back room and arm wrestle?

“I’m not sure I agree that it was wrong. It was war.”


Of course it was wrong-—and racial.

Where were the German and Italian internment camps?

Continue the police state foolishness, or fight a war. Those are the choices. So far, political folks want to continue the foolishness.

If the government thinks they need to do it, they’ll do it. I mean, does anybody seriously doubt that Mr. I’ve Got A Pen And I’ve Got A Phone wouldn’t?
