Howard Coble Unrepentent
Eric Muller, UNC Law Prof and author of the lawblog IsThatLegal? is still following the Rep. Howard Coble story.
Nearly a year ago, Congressman Howard Coble (R-NC) triggered a controversy when he volunteered on a radio call-in program that FDR's incarceration of Japanese Americans in 1942 was the right thing to do at the time. Coble resurrected the old canard that Japanese Americans were jailed for their own protection: "Some of them probably weren't safe on the streets," he said.
Coble is now running for re-election, no one seems to care much about his comments, and Eric says Coble is unrepentent. We care. You should too. Go read Eric.
