Japanese American Internment And Gitmo Detainees  

Once a violation of the Constitution is allowed then violations become easier and easier. Take for instance the internment of Japanese Americans by FDR in 1942, which is 100% violation of the Constitution. To make matters worse in 1944 the Supreme Court ruled the administration action were fully Constitution, all be it that FDR had packed the court with judges that believed that the Constitution did not limited the Federal government in any way. Now fast forward to modern time with the Gitmo Detainee. When you allow the internment of American just because somewhere in their heritage they had Japanese roots, it become that much easier detain non-American just because to think they might be terrorist. Whenever you do not have respect for the Constitution at any time for what ever reason, it become that much easier to ignore the Constitution at another time. The Constitution is not an A` la carte menu that you can chose from when ever you want to. The Constitution is a take it all or leave it. So when FDR and his packed court interned Americans, they gave George W. Bush and now Barack Obama the ability to detain foreigner for as long as they wanted to.
