Back home in the Midwest (yes, I capitalize Midwest) and it's much colder here than out East. I've got many Holiday Cards to write and errands to run, but one post before I get going.



"Conservatives love Korematsu"! Yikes. I found this post on Legal Ramblings that makes this claim. This is, of course, patently false as a blanket statement, and Steve does make note of that at the end of his post. What's frightening is the post (from where else, but Ex Parte) that prompted him to make the overreaching statement. The luminous Austin Bramwell goes on the record with the following:

Kudos to John Ashcraft! I wonder: to what level does the terrorist threat have to rise before we revisit the doctrines of Korematsu v. U.S.? Not that I don't relish the opportunity to pee on civil libertarian pieties, but after 9/11 I'm glad that that the precedent stands.

I won't go into all the reasons why Korematsu was a bad decision because I assume most reasonable people know what they are and I don't even want to begin dignifying Bramwell's post. If I get mail claiming the contrary, I'll post about it. Steve at Legal Ramblings makes most of the standard points, if anyone needs a gentle reminder.
