The New York Times reported today:

The Supreme Court has upheld President Trump’s ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries, saying on Tuesday that the president’s power to secure U.S. borders was not undermined by the incendiary statements he made about Muslims.

The court’s liberals denounced the decision, which Justice Sonia Sotomayor compared to the 1944 ruling that upheld the detention of Japanese-Americans during World War II, Korematsu v. United States. That decision has been almost universally recognized as a shameful mistake, and the court overturned it on Tuesday.

This was a 5-4 decision of the current U.S. Supreme Court.

I guess that we can all see now the difficulty that President Lincoln faced going into the Civil War with a five justice majority of the Supreme Court that was "at heart" pro-slavery, including the Chief Justice Roger Taney. No wonder now that President Lincoln added that paragraph in his first inaugural address regarding the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court.
