I'm not making a legal contention. I'm arguing the inherent unfairness of the situation, and asserting that if it was reversed, the near blanket rejection many conservatives et al have would not be so quickly made. Something isn't appropriate solely because it is traditional, long established, or was rarely, if ever, challenged previously.

I searched and searched and searched, but could find no evidence that we ever charged those hundreds of thousands of Axis prisoners we incarcerated in the US and in Hawaii during World Warll. I recall we had over 25,000 Italian Army prisoners somewhere in NJ and Staten Island but, despite searching every piece of paper ever put out by the ACLU, I could find no mention of "charges" and "trials". I wonder why? Did the US Government shred all the evidence? I even checked most of the Law Schools in the US to see if there had been a "spike" in enrollment. But no such luck.
