In a 6-3 decision, the Court sided with the government,<ref name="Richey2007">{{cite news |first=Warren |last=Richey |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Key Guantánamo cases hit Supreme Court |url=http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1205/p01s02-usju.html?page=2 |work=[[The Christian Science Monitor]] |publisher= |date=2007-12-05 |accessdate= }}</ref> ruling that the exclusion order was [[Constitutionality|constitutional]]. The opinion, written by Supreme Court justice [[Hugo Black]], held that the need to protect against espionage outweighed [[Fred Korematsu]]'s individual rights, and the rights of Americans of Japanese descent. (The Court limited its decision to the validity of the exclusion orders, adding, "The provisions of other orders requiring persons of Japanese ancestry to report to assembly centers and providing for the detention of such persons in assembly and relocation centers were separate, and their validity is not in issue in this proceeding.")
