jan 28, 1944 - Korematsu v. United States

Description:

Korematsu argues that the Japanese internment camps were violating the 5th amendment.

SCOTUS rules against Korematsu 6-3. "It's based on necessity, not race blah blah blah"

In 1990, there would be reparations ($20,000 for each). Too little, too late.
