Scalia Warns: Mass Internment Of Americans Could Happen Again

Holocaust Museum Condemns Treatment Of Syrian Refugees In U.S.

"While recognizing that security concerns must be fully addressed, we should not turn our backs on the thousands of legitimate refugees."

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum condemned the U.S. treatment of Syrian refugees on Thursday and compared their plight to the ordeal of Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust.

Over half of U.S. governors and a slew of national and local lawmakers have recently said they would turn away Syrian refugees in light of last week's attacks in Paris. During World War II,the U.S. government rejected thousands of Jews fleeing Europe, fearing they were Nazi spies.

Here's the museum's statement:

Acutely aware of the consequences to Jews who were unable to flee Nazism, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum looks with concern upon the current refugee crisis. While recognizing that security concerns must be fully addressed, we should not turn our backs on the thousands of legitimate refugees.

The Museum calls on public figures and citizens to avoid condemning today’s refugees as a group. It is important to remember that many are fleeing because they have been targeted by the Assad regime and ISIS for persecution and in some cases elimination on the basis of their identity.​

Holy shit, even the Holocaust Memorial Museum condemns the American anti-refugee Islamophobia.

You have to love the lefties with their globalism one world efforts. People who live half way around the world, don't speak English, and have no relatives here are suddenly being conferred with the rights of American citizens. Another straw man deflecting from the failures of our petulant child in chief.

Wrong.

All persons in the United States are afforded certain fundamental rights, not just citizens. (See e.g. Plyler v. Doe, Boumediene v. Bush)

It demonstrates just how clueless and out of touch with reality a good number on the right are – their ridiculous extremism, their comprehensive ignorance of the law, where even the likes of Scalia knows that the fear, ignorance, bigotry, and hate exhibited by many of his fellow conservatives is reckless, unwarranted, and wrong.

Some are, but Trump is talking about ALL Muslims - including American citizens.

The Return of Korematsu

Seventy years after the mass internment of Japanese Americans was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, the ugly ideas at the core of its decision are resurfacing.

“A Korematsu-type classification…will never again survive scrutiny,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg declared in a 1998 dissent. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in a recent book that the decision was “thoroughly discredited.” Justice Antonin Scalia, who previously compared it to Dred Scott, said during a speech last year that Korematsu was unequivocally “wrong.” But he also warned about repeating the same mistake in the future.

“But you are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again,” he said.

He used a Latin expression to explain why. “Inter arma enim silent leges … In times of war, the laws fall silent.”

“That’s what was going on—the panic about the war and the invasion of the Pacific and whatnot,” Scalia said. “That’s what happens. It was wrong, but I would not be surprised to see it happen again—in time of war. It’s no justification but it is the reality.”​

Expelling all Japanese Americans from the Pacific Coast would have seemed unthinkable in 1940. Then came the fear and paranoia that pervaded cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco after Pearl Harbor. Frenzied reports of Japanese submarines off Oregon and saboteurs in California fueled a climate in which extreme constitutional violations towards an unpopular few seemed reasonable to a fearful many.

Korematsu is a reminder that, in times of crisis, there will always be an unpopular minority to fear and opportunistic demagogues to demonize them. But central to the Bill of Rights’ purpose is the protection of the few from the cruelty of the many, no matter who that few or many may be.

My fellow Americans - is this who we are? Is this what we have become?

It's amazing to listen to some conservatives argue illogically on BOTH sides of the issue. For example, Mark Levin absolutely excoriates FDR for Executive Order 9066 which led to the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans. Meanwhile he absolutely fans the flames of fear toward Muslims.

We're not at war with a religion; we are war with fanatics of a particular religion. Seeing as how all religions can and do have fanatics that have engaged in bloodletting and purges at various times throughout history, you should be able to understand the difference. However, there's an even more important reason to make the distinction. It's this: Unless you're willing to engage in a protracted conflict with BILLIONS of Muslims, then you'd better learn the difference between the two.

Exactly! ISIS wants to eliminate the "grayzone" and unite all Muslims against all others - the holy war of all holy wars.

Islamic State’s Goal: “Eliminating the Grayzone” of Coexistence Between Muslims and the West

A true religious war and/or a war between the Christian West and the Muslim East could easily lead to millions and possibly even hundreds of millions of deaths. Yet, American conservatives seem only slightly less hell bent on making that happen than those ISIS lunatics.

 

[Shrimpbox]

So because we don't want to carte Blanche let th Syrian refugees in this country we are going to have a global conflict leading to the deaths,of hundreds of millions of people. Only democrats make up these false narratives that have no basis in reality. How about a reality check. I would love to see examples of my fearmongering, hysterical, crazy, unhinged attitude toward terrorists and Syrians. Our board liberals,are following the same strategy as our fearless leader. Don't address the problem created by Obama, pursue the ad hominem attacks against republicans and do it overseas so we can get some international hate for certain Americans.this kind of conduct and these kinds of unsubstantiated attacks are a national disgrace.

FDR sent hundreds of thousands of japanese families to internment camps and they weren't even hell bent on strapping bombs to their kids to blow up innocent people.

Two Wrongs Make A Right Winger.

yeah....FDR was a socialist....you do realize that right?
