Supreme Court Case Korematsu V. United States (1944)
Korematsu v. United States
who decides whether or not the supreme court will review a case
Omg based god !
Korematsu v. United States, 323 US 214 (1944)Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone (1941-1946) presided over the Court for the Korematsu case, a challenge to the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066 that established Japanese Internment Camps during World War II.
constitutional because it was based on military urgency
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.

nice
The Supreme Court gets to decide if they want to hear it. It has to go through the entire legal process first, though.
He took matters into his own hands
