By Michelle Malkin  •  August 25, 2004 04:23 AM

Judge Richard Posner is guest-blogging at Larry Lessig’s site. Though he hasn’t yet read my book, he defends the U.S. Supreme Court’s infamous Korematsu ruling in a recent entry:

…the wisdom of hindsight is treacherous. In March of 1942 when [Executive Order 9066] was issued, just three months after Pearl Harbor, there was not only fear that Japan would attack the continental United States, but also a need to demonstrate resoluteness in a war for which the nation was not prepared.
