The Supreme Court just quietly overturned a decision that upheld the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II as part of a ruling upholding President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban that primarily targets majority-Muslim countries.
During World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which led the US government to force more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent into detention camps.
The decision overruled by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, Korematsu v. United States, was centered around a man named Fred Korematsu, a Japanese-American who refused to comply with the order. On December 18, 1944, the Supreme Court ruled it was a "military necessity" to detain people of Japanese descent during the war and argued the order was not based on race.
Chief Justice John Roberts made it clear he disagrees with this assessment in the majority opinion on Trump's travel ban.
"The forcible relocation of US citizens to concentration camps, solely and explicitly on the basis of race, is objectively unlawful and outside the scope of Presidential authority," Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
"Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and to be clear 'has no place in law under the Constitution,'" Roberts added.
This was partially in response to the dissenting opinion from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, which contended the ruling on Trump's travel ban has "stark parallels" with the "reasoning" behind the decision made regarding Korematsu.
"Today, the Court takes the important step of finally overruling Korematsu," Sotomayor added. "This formal repudiation of a shameful precedent is laudable and long overdue. But it does not make the majority's decision here acceptable or right."

Really?
You need to QUIT listening to Liberal Lies.
=====================================================
Really!
Is it "Liberal Lies" that a jr politician with an unknown background got elected...and then re-elected President and Commander in Chief of the armed forces?
Is it "Liberal Lies" that one of the most corrupt and hideous politicians, hillary, got 65,853,514 votes, which was 48.2% of the total votes?
Is it "Liberal Lies" that the #4 ranking (D) just got buried in their primary by an openly, avowed open borders socialist who's goal is to dismantle I.C.E.?
They, and far too many more like them, all had a common goal of ultimately bringing about unfettered immigration (among many other anti-American ideals).
Couple that with far too many (R)'s who have wanted to give amnesty to any number of illegal aliens over the years and who listen to the Chamber of Commerce who want more immigration and support the "dreamers" (i.e. not U.S. citizen dreamers, but foreign national's here illegally "dreamers").
You need to START paying attention to those Liberal Lies so that they can be defeated. It's hard to fight something that you don't pay attention to.
The past changes all the time depending on who won the last election or war. History has been rewritten in my lifetime more than once.
What is...is. What was...will be. What will be *was*, but will be again.
uh huh
I would like to see your source for that claim. I know the Japanese government tried to do something like that as they did in other Japanese enclaves. However from what I have read it was totally ineffective.
I once asked my Mother-in-Law about that claim because I have heard it before. (I never seen anything historical or documented on it that contradicted my previous information.) Her family was very plugged into J-town (Japanese pre-War LA). Her father had a grocery store & small farm, her uncle was a prominent Lutheran minister and her other uncle owned the largest JA insurance firm in the LA area. So as a family they were prominent in that community! They didn’t know a soul that did what you claim. Since she was there, you and I were not, I will take her eyewitness testimony over anyone else. She and everyone she knew were too busy being California swing era teenagers!
Hard to beat out Tommy Dorsey & Benny Goodman with Kabuki!
No; but I have spent a LOT of time there.
The NPS operates a national historic site at Mammoth Lake Caalifornia. I think there were 10 camps.
I visited this one and it is well done, illustrating exactly what transpired
In those days; there were a lot of kids EVERYWHERE!
Modern contraception has eliminated a lot and CHOICE takes care of a LOT more!
Well; then they have gotten Hawaii all right!
Nits make lice.
Party ownership of the print media
made it easy to manipulate public opinion,
and the film and radio carried the process further.
....... The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further. The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify. In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building. As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames. What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead. In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs. There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed. And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence. |
Must be family since it is not a tourist area. If you don’t like hunting and fishing there is nothing to do but look at pine trees. I was raised in Crossett.
Nope.
BIG tourist area!
Just about 10 miles north of Arches NP.
Mountain bikers just LOVE the place; as do jeep folks.
No pine trees for a long way south, and then higher up in altitude in the LaSal’s.
Yeah, the NW is beautiful. I must be mistaken as to the camp’s location which I believed to be in the SW corner.

What state?
Arkansas. I checked and was correct about the location and there were two in the SW corner. One at Jerome and one down the road a few miles at Rohwer. However told you there was one in NW Arkansas was incorrect. There was Camp Robinson further north which held some refugee group from Vietnam or Cambodia or some such.
In Indiana, at Camp Atterbury; we had a prison camp for Italians.
They didn’t need much guarding as they were glad to no longer be in the war and had it much better being a prisoner of the USA that being a soldier for Mussolini!
