I believe that the Japanese-Americans took the government all the way to the supreme court to contest their detention during WW II...and lost. Thus, there is a constitutional precendent for the dentention of a specific ethnic group during times of war (and, that detention did not end our Republic).

BOY! Have I gained a whole new prospective on the Japanese internment of WWII. It now hold it to be one of the finest moments of American history. I HAD to be done and it took great courage to do it. Those who still think of it as a dastardly act and that our parents and grandparents were wrong (one must subscribe to the theory of mass national temporary insanity to think so) just have not come to grips with reality. Most soon will 'get it' I'm sad to say .... the hard way.
