I remember last year (maybe the year before that?), I tweeted that Korematsu was never explicitly overruled and a few lawyers disagreed with me on that.
SCOTUS could have made the language explicit. They did not. We pay for the sins of the past.

In 2018, John Roberts claimed that the Supreme Court had overruled Korematsu, the Court's decision upholding the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Recent events suggest otherwise! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/korem...

At some point Roberts will realize that the Court itself is at risk, at which point it might be too late.
