<DIV>That is in fact the rule required for classifications which (like race) receive "strict scrutiny" under the US Constitution. For such a classification to survive it must serve a "compelling interest" and be "narrowly tailoted:" to achieve that end. Unfortunately in US v. Korematsu, the S.Ct bought that the internment of the Nisei met that standard. It was not Justice Black's finest hour. Fred Korematsu is still alive, btw, spoke here in Chicago two weeks ago, expressing his concern about the treatment of Arab Americans and immigrants. jks<BR><BR><B><I>Michael Perelman <michael@ecst.csuchico.edu></I></B> wrote:
