The Ongoing Relevance of Fred Korematsu To Our Society

"Fred Korematsu demonstrated that patriotism not by waving an American flag, but by trying to vindicate the values and principles that are embodied in that flag - freedom, justice and equality under the law." That is what U.S. Magistrate Judge Edward Chen stated in 2005.

Now the right wing is trying to stop President Obama's nomination of Judge Chen to the U.S. District Court Court by smearing Judge Chen and seeking to use his comments on Fred Korematsu against Chen. Please write your Senators in support of Judge Chen's nomination.
