Please try to look at things in the context of the times they happened. It is really easy to say something that happened in the past should not have been done or could have been done differently. The internment camps for Japanese Americans was a terrible injustice for these people, but the "mood of the country", a sneak attack, and the atrocities being done by the Japanese Army in places like Nanking all contributed to something the country wanted; to feel a little safer against sabotage. It is also interesting that German and Italian Americans were not treated the same way; a form of racism in itself. Like I said, the 20/20 hindsight of history. I would, respectfully, question the "packing the Supreme Court" comment. Given the opportunity, any president will try to appoint like-minded people to positions of decision making.
