Justice Antonin Scalia predicts that the Supreme Court will eventually authorize another a wartime abuse of civil rights such as the internment camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II.
"You are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again," Scalia told the University of Hawaii law school while discussing Korematsu v. United States, the ruling in which the court gave its imprimatur to the internment camps.

convictions of Gordon Hirabayashi and Fred Korematsu for violating
an order to report to report to an internment camp. www.staradvertiser.com...
Avi Soifer, the law school's dean, said he believed Scalia was suggesting
people always have to be vigilant and that the law alone can't be trusted
to provide protection.

Scalia is the person known for saying that writ of habeas corpus is an aberration, and does not belong in the Constitution.
We will see if he makes a retraction, or clarifies.
