    Korematsu is the name of the SCOTUS case that allowed for the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2.

    Since then it's widely been viewed as a terrible and deeply shameful decision and is taught in law schools as a textbook example of how SCOTUS power can go badly wrong, especially during times of war.
