[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not really be surprised if Trump attempted to put US Muslim citizens into interment camps until he and his administration figure out "exactly what the hell is going on" -- those were his words, right?  If he believes, as he has said, that it's the religion of ISLAM that is the problem, for radicalizing people, then all Muslims are suspect, and under Korematzu, WHICH HIS OWN SURROGATES CITED IN DEBATE ON CNN, he might try to put Muslim citizens into interment camps until such time as they were determined to be not a threat.

Let me be clear:  I think this is crazy.  [b]But you don't send your surrogates off to cite Korematzu and then say "well where on earth did they get the idea we wanted to put citizens into interment camps?"[/b]  Because that's what happened in Korematzu, the case you just cited![/quote]

I really wish people would read what was actually said.  The remark about camps wasn't planned, it was simply in reference to past precedent and wasn't a statement of what the Trump administration was planning to do.  Honestly, the hysteria is so over-the-top. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/us/politics/japanese-internment-muslim-registry.html 
"Jason Miller, a spokesman for the Trump transition team, had issued the following statement: “President-elect Trump has never advocated for any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion, and to imply otherwise is completely false. The national registry of foreign visitors from countries with high terrorism activity that was in place during the Bush and Obama administrations gave intelligence and law enforcement communities additional tools to keep our country safe, but the President-elect plans on releasing his own vetting policies after he is sworn in.”[/quote]
