What was not clear until years later was that the government's case for internment as a security measure was bogus & the government knew it.

It was done to boost morale, especially on the west coast, not deal with a legitimate risk. And that's why fear is so dangerous.

First dem question for SCOTUS pick should be whether #Korematsu is still good law.

My house Rep was born in the Poston, AZ internment camp. All of my childhood Japanese friends’ parents had lived in the camps, only this was never discussed (I think mostly to not call attention to their country’s shame). The fabric of the internments was woven throughout society.

I remember the Saturday Night Massacre, almost like it was yesterday. Wife was city editor for an AM paper, and Saturday night was our day off, the PM Paper did Sunday morning’s paper. We were are a staff party that night, and the radio news at the top of the hour came on with a list of people Nixon had fired.
The party broke up not long after that, even though we usually worked until 11 or so in the evening. Mrs J and I went straight to the newspaper, to the wire room, where the teletypes were typing that night’s news. There were 3 AP machines, 2 UPI, the NYTimes wire… there were more, I’m not remembering them all.
They typed on endless sheets of paper in big boxes under the teletype machines, connected to Wire Service bureaus, the NY Times HQ, etc by dedicated telephone lines – this was 15 or 20 years before Internet Technology started. You could tell how important each story coming over the wire was by the number of Bell characters at the front of the story.
5 bells was Second Coming, Pearl Harbor Bombed, War Declared, D-Day Invasion, President Fires Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General Soliciter General Appointed Acting AG, Fires Special Prosecutor.
We watched 5-bell stories, rewrites, write-throughs, and because the Sunday AM paper was already published by then, no one else was there. The lights were off in the Newsrooms, you could feel the press running 3 floors down, the whole building trembled when they got it up to speed. And the bells kept ringing, just for us.
That night is why I still have a little optimism that the Trump Regime will end quickly, cut off short, by real Americans, willing to read the simple American English of the Bill of Rights. Hope, anyway.
