KOREMATSU VERSUS US
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- Seventy-five years ago, the Supreme Court issued one of its most controversial decisions--in Korematsu v. United States--upholding the conviction of Fred Korematsu who refused to report to an assembly center during the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. What were the events that led up to the relocation of approximately 120,000 immigrants and citizens? How and why did the Court decide the way it did? Could it happen again?
Three legal experts--Nadine Strossen, Dean Hashimoto, and Ken Masugi--discuss the events leading up to the relocation and internment, the relevant court cases, and the legacy of Korematsu.

While I certainly heard about Korematsu countless times in constitutional and civil rights law courses, it's astonishing the concentration camps conditions are far worse than I have imagined.
It's truly shocking what the government has done and how they even have the face to criticize China when its camps are far better than US's with education, entertainment, career skills training and good food.
And plus, Korematsu v. US has never been overturned despite what some claims.
It's frightening that this could happen again , and judges believe it's their duty to sacrifice individual civil constitutional rights for the sake of government convenience . It terrible that bureaucrats and judges can make executive orders and ruling to end constitution Civil rights of individuals . Judges , presidents and bureaucrats have already decided that people don't need civil rights and can be simple ruled null avoid ! The question is whom up holds the Bill of Rights, Constitution , from past history,judges , presidents, bureaucrats, and legislators do not !
23:41 Yep, and like I said, the Federalist Society has lined up to defend it... many of the architects of detainee torture and military commissions were Federalist Society members....
14:20 ??? How would that alone justify jailing someone...
8:26 This from the people trying to destroy OSHA and weaken labor rights using the courts...
23:05 And when that happens (it could be argued that it is), you can bet the Federalist Society will be lining up to defend it... they're willing to tolerate nativist insurrection in their ranks, why not internment?
Lol if the Federalist Society types were around 77 years ago (counting from 2021), they would be praising Korematsu as "originalist" cause it would have served their purposes.
2:54 - 3:25 is the basis, and logical reasoning, behind the relocation of the Japanese.
Then why didnt US charge korematsu with treason? It's a laughing matter...
Are they refugees????
Very well documented. Congratulations.
Hayat Harram no they are US citizens
SCOTUS ruled the relocation of Japanese during the war was lawful.
Is it? What crime did korematsu commit? Being Japanese american? Laughable
@@JK20239 Korematsu's crime was failure to obey a lawful military order during time of war.
@@pteronarcyscalifornica694 A law doesn't stand if it violates the constitution.
@@nathanli3024 And, SCOTUS explicitly ruled, in Korematsu v US, that the exclusion order leading to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was constitutional.
@@TejasM14 ironically, the Dred Scoot decision was an opinion based on an evolutionist interpretation of the document.
