You are correct, they did not authorize it but they did not overturn Roosevelt's executive order, Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214. The court's decision was to defer to congress and the military authorities in light of Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war. It was a terrible cop-out by the court but America was fighting for it's survival with hundreds of thousands or Americans dying in battle.You people are such goddamn hypocrites.FDR locked up Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor and the supreme court at the time authorized it. All Trump is saying is that we need to consider how muslem Mosques are promoting jihad.
Incidentally, to my knowledge, the Supreme Court did NOT authorize it. I would have to see a link about that.
