The US Supreme Court has approved Donald Trump’s presumed dictatorial power to ban and imprison any would-be immigrant group he does not like.
The decision is ostensibly about banning Muslims coming into America from certain countries.
But the Court’s ruling clearly grants the power to any US president to ban any immigrant group for any reason. And it, by default, approves their detention in concentration camps, as Trump is now doing along the Mexican border.
Trump supporters should now understand that this and future presidents can now certainly use it against THEM.
The Court’s 5-4 “conservative” majority made the expected fake genuflection against Franklin Roosevelt’s horrifying 1942 Executive Order #9066 forcing some 10,000 Japanese-Americans into concentration camps during World War 2. That decision has been widely denounced ever since, even by former right-wing Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, whose seat has been taken by Neil Gorsuch, who approved this ban. Trump cited FDR’s order in justifying his own.
During the war First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt actually visited those camps. She was not wearing a jacket that said “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?”
