Korematsu is still good law today. The decision has never been overturned. And, unil the Grutter decision, it marked the last time a racial classification survived strict scrutiny review.

interesting reading on this is William Rehnquist’s Civil Liberties During Wartime and a criticism written by the late Victor Rosenblum “A Pertinent Message for Today from Key Constitutional and Administrative Rulings of Yesterday,” 40 San Diego Law Review 1533-1553 (2003).

my blue book citation style is probably severely lacking after two years of non-use as a struggling new lawyer.

It seems to me that there is a difference between: (1) a court showing deference to the military, and (2) a court, through its inaction, compelling law-abiding citizens to show deference to the military through the abrogation of civil liberties.

Stated differently: Since I am not in the military, he may be “My President,” but he is never “My Commander-in-Chief.”
