United States Supreme Court Justice Scalia made an astonishing remark during a recent visit to the University of Hawaii law school. As reported by the Washington Times, Scalia commented that during times of war, internment camps, like the ones that were used during World War 2, for interning Japanese Americans in the United States, will happen again. “It was wrong but I would not be surprised to see it happen again, in time of war, it’s no justification, but it is the reality,” Scalia said citing the US Supreme Court case, Korematsu v. US, back in 1944, which upheld the interning of Japanese-Americans. In an effort to clear up Scalia’s statement, University of Hawaii’s law school Dean, Avi Soifer, interpreted the remarks from Scalia as, “ people always have to be vigilant and that the law alone can’t be trusted to provide protection,”, however the controversy is still swirling.
