Re: I always wonder why FDR is revered as such a great President. (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | Well, FDR did lead the country out of the Great Depression and the United States did win WW2. He was also the only President to ever serve more than 2 terms ... but that's neither here nor there...
Fred Korematsu refused to go to the internment camps and his case made it to the Supreme Court in 1944, when Korematsu v. U.S. upheld the Constitutionality of the internment order.
The ruling is generally considered bad law, and Gerald Ford officially rescinded Executive Order 9066 in 1976. Under Reagan, Bush, and Clinton the survivors of internment received reparations and Fred Korematsu received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
