Would you have stood idly by and asked them to excuse you for harbouring
thoughts of revenge? Maybe in your case!
They received $1.6 billion from the taxpayers for being a possible security
risk. Read and avail yourself of a smidgeon of knowlege before you make
such uneducated, ignorant statements.

The people in internment camps that seek compensation were Americans, not
"the Japs" who attacked Pearl Harbor. As they for the most part do not
own banks they will get nothing. The USA only gives handouts to filthy
rich people.

"possible security risks"....

Now there's a loaded assessment if ever I saw one. Absolutely anyone can be
a "possible security risk". The Japanese that were here before and during
WWII were Americans. They had chosen to leave their native country. As a
rule, this means that the place they left for offered them more than their
home country, and that they no longer felt allegiance to their home country.

You can't just arrest and imprison someone because they "are a possible
risk". If you could, then you, me, or anyone could be arrested and
imprisoned without cause or charge at any time. Mind you, with the Patriot
Acts I and II, even this is now possible... all that has to happen is for
someone to point a finger at you along with a weak accusation. Indeed, a
very dangerous precedent.

FDR was a Liberal/Democrat/Marxist and he had them interned.

Same principle when they were tracking communism after WW2. "Could be
your neighbor or it could be little Jimmy's school teacher"...remember these
news caps from the 50's? Or how about your favorite movie star? Hollywood
demons.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were a prime example of the suspicions of that
era although not the only ones by far.

"As a rule, this means that the place they left for offered them more

"As a rule"....but not always. I'm sure there was a certain amount of
paranoia following the attack on Pearl Harbour. The U.S. had just lost a
great deal of their western front defences leaving the entire coast pretty
much open to attack, at least I'm sure that was most or all of the reason
for interment of the Japanese. They didn't single out Polish, Irish,
Italians or any other group, just the Japanese.

Some/Many/Most were in-fact American Citizens :
However many of those who were not : Were kept
from becoming American Citizens by the Federal
Government itself : Then Treat as an Enemy Alien
because they were still Foreign Citizens; again by
the very same Federal Government.

At this time most have received the reparations
from the US Government. Many however died
many years before any justice was to come.

Only proves that both sides of the political spectrum are equally capable of
tossing human rights into the crapper.

Didn't FDR have to have CONgressional approval before interning thousands of
US citizens?

The Liberal/Democrat/Marxists seem to have a propensity for doing so!

Just wait till the 'tard boy Obama gets his hands on the controls.

I have a question: If for some reason Obama is unable to take the oath of
office, does that mean that Obiden, er, Biden would be sworn in as President, or
would Pelosi take the reigns, er, reins until new elections take place?

Line of succession is Veep, then Speaker of the House. Believe that's how
Ford got to be Veep, IIRC, he was Speaker when Agnew resigned.

Yes, but we were not at a transition point at that time.

At this point, Biden was not actually elected, was he? Obama was the titular
(neat word!) head of the party with Biden merely clinging to the 'tard boy in
waiting.

So, I still wonder at this point if Biden could be legally sworn in.

Any precedents out there?

He never became Speaker.

I was fortunate enough to stand before his coffin and salute while he lay in his
Museum in Grand Rapids, MI before his funeral, and before he was finally laid to
rest along the banks of the Grand River, outside of the Museum, not so many
miles from here.
