[quote]Here’s one of the other reasons: The administration cannot win this case without Justice Anthony Kennedy. And Justice Kennedy could well see in this case an opportunity to do one of the things that he most loves to do, which is to intervene in the grand sweep of constitutional history by repudiating ugly decisions from the court’s unfortunate past. In particular, the travel-ban case offers Kennedy the chance to overrule a widely reviled decision that has never been officially overruled: [I]Korematsu v. United States[/I].[/quote]

The fact that the internment is a valid comparison to the Muslim travel ban is scary.

Aliens? :v:

(I'm dumb, my thought instantly went to "illegal aliens" when aliens in this prose is supposed to mean anything foreign. Which still holds in the sense that Muslims are only sometimes foreign- maybe even only a small percentage of them.)

That's what the official term is weirdly.
