Supreme Court rejects Nazi Guard appeal

This story is about an elderly man who lost his appeal against having his U.S. citizenship revoked. The court system argues that his involvement in the war and the Holocaust makes him unworthy of U.S. citizenship.
It's been some 50 odd years since he's lived in Des Moines, Iowa, which makes me question how worthwhile this is. I mean, I feel strongly about matters dealing with the Holocaust for personal reasons, which is why this article caught my attention. I know this man's plea that he wasn't directly involved is ridiculous and wrong because he was a guard who watched millions of people being killed and was numb to it. He even chased someone and later helped to kill that person. He's made some disgusting mistakes in his past, but what type of justice is the court system seeking to send an old man back to Croatia? Just something to think about.
