Justice Sonia Sotomayor compared to the 1944 ruling that upheld the detention of Japanese-Americans during World War II, Korematsu v. United States.

You'd really have to be ignorant of the past to believe that comparison. Korematsu v. United States. upheld an unprecedented assertion of executive power. It imposed military rule on civilians without a declaration of martial law and sentenced a segment of the population to internal exile under armed guard. These were Americans that suddenly had no country.

The travel ban merely restricts people from terrorist countries from entering the US. No one is imprisoned and no one takes their citizenship away from them.

This has been done many times by many presidents. The vote should have been 9-0.
