Description NO AI ALLOWED PLEASE : SERVERS IN PLACE PART 1: 2 pages double space The video on the Korematsu case is amazing. Often I am asked, “How could this happen?” “What was the Supreme Court thinking?” Korematsu was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2018, but in 1988, President Reagan signed into law a bill passed by giving each survivor of the relocation camps $20,000. Reparations are usually very controversial. Was the reparations payment the right thing to do? Why or why not? Does this law set a good or bad precedent? Remember that men and women of good faith and intent can disagree on issues. Write your essay/reflection addressing the questions in the prompt. Limit two pages, 12 point font. NOTES: In the U. S. Supreme Court decision of Trump v. Hawaii (2018), Chief Justice Justice John Roberts wrote: Finally, the dissent invokes Korematsu v. United States,323 U. S. 214 (1944). Whatever rhetorical advantage the dissent may see in doing so, Korematsu has nothing to do with this case. The forcible relocation of U. S. citizens to concentration camps, solely and explicitly on the basis of race, is objectively unlawful and outside the scope of Presidential authority. But it is wholly inapt to liken that morally repugnant order to a facially neutral policy denying certain foreign nationals the privilege of admission. The entry suspension is an act that is well within executive authority and could have been taken by any other President—the only question is evaluating the actions of this particular President in promulgating an otherwise valid Proclamation. The dissent’s reference to Korematsu, however, affords this Court the opportunity to make express what is already obvious: Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and—to be clear—“has no place in law under the Constitution.” 323 U. S., at 248 (Jackson, J., dissenting). Justice Sonia Sotomayor (joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) noted: Today, the Court takes the important step of finally overruling Korematsu, denouncing it as “gravely wrong the day it was decided.” Ante, at 38 (citing Korematsu, 323 U. S., at 248 (Jackson, J., dissenting)). This formal repudiation of a shameful precedent is laud- able and long overdue. After 74 years, the Korematsu case was formally overturned by the United States Supreme Court. You are now a presidential advisor to President Biden. He has asked you to write a one page SINGLE spaced 12 point font memo on how he can change the stormy political climate in Washington DC and gain his "mandate with the American people." He feels that his legislative (policy) agenda is on the right track. What would you tell him to do? Your source of information comes from the video you have just viewed, the professor's written introduction to the Presidency, and Chapter 7 in your text. I look forward to reading your memo.
