FDR committed a pretty serious infraction with interning huge numbers of American Nisei during WWII.
I can’t imagine any American court countermanding FDR’s internment order.
I wouldn’t have imagined a countermanding order effort, either. My point was that what he did as President was highly illegal, IMO and a USSC ruling that might come out as “no one above the law” would have put him in the hot seat.
Those complaining about the the Nisei internment need to realize that the issue has been discussed on an overwhelming one sided basis for 60+ years. And that third party discussion has been mostly by folks whose impression of Japanese folks is all based on the post-MacArthurized version, not the wartime or pre-war version. It also tends to forget the order passed judicial, including SCOTUS muster and affected more than the Nisei. Germans and Italians also were interned. The other side deserves to be heard. But about all I’ve seen of it was Michelle Malkin’s book on the subject. Which was promptly blasted by all the usual suspects. But which offered a surprising amount of evidence that there were spies and saboteurs embedded in that population. Who ended up not amounting to much because the internment shut them down as well as W closing our skies on 911 may have saved the west coast.
