The Japanese American Internment was the result of Roosevelt's extra-Constitutional power grab. The Founders had no intention for Congress to ever abdicate so much power to the Executive.
That's the point. There have been extra-constitutional things going on from day one.
that mar on our history should be a warning to everyone that wants the government to provide (whether it be retirement, medical, food, whatever) - the government giveth, and the government taketh away, as long as we are unresisting.
Hold on, exactly what are you saying is the connection between e.g. socialized medicine and the Japanese internment? You seem to be saying there is one, but hell if I can figure out what it's supposed to be.
You really think it would have helped to resist? In a war?
Also compare the fate of the native Americans who resisted.
