The United States won, as Fred Korematsu was not granted his appeal and was sent to an internment camp, and none of the Japanese-American's cases were looked into. This fool has no idea what he is talking about... he was not even close to knowing what really happened with Fred Korematsu. Korematsu won this as some would say "battle" against the United States. Fred Korematsu did not have to go to the internment camp.
It is Korematsu v US and was a landmark Supreme Court decision allowing the USA government to place Japanese Americans in internment camps during WWII.
Korematsu v. United States
Korematsu v. United States
Korematsu v. United States, 323 US 214 (1944)Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone presided over the Court that declared constitutional Executive Order 9066, mandating internment camps to imprison Japanese and Japanese-American citizens in the United States during WW II. Justice Hugo Black wrote the opinion of the Court.
This was a case determining the constitutionality of putting Japanese Americans into "relocation" camps or internment camps. The Supreme Court decided that internment camps were constitutional because of military urgency, and that protection from espionage far outweighed Korematsu's (and thus all Japanese American's) individual rights.
The Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause by allowing the internment of Japanese Americans based on their ethnicity. It also violated the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause by depriving individuals of their freedom without sufficient justification.
