Maxims of Law: "Ex injuria jus non oritur" (Law does not arise from injustice), "Nemo auditur propriam turpitudinem allegans" (No one can be heard who invokes his own wrongdoing). "Neminem laedit qui suo jure utitur" (One who exercises his own right does no injury).
US Supreme Court:
Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1, 31(1942): "An enemy combatant who without uniform comes secretly through the lines for the purpose of waging war by destruction of life or property, is generally deemed to be a spy and, if captured, may be tried by military tribunal and punished by death. The spy is an offender against the law of war subject to trial and punishment by a military tribunal and is not entitled to the status of a prisoner of war."
Johnson v. Eisentrager, 339 U.S. 763 (1950) "To grant the writ to these prisoners would thus bring aid and comfort to the enemy, and, under the circumstances of this case, we consider it would be inappropriate to grant them a constitutional right they do not enjoy."
United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez, 494 U.S. 259, 265 (1990).
Quote: "The people protected by the Fourth Amendment, and by the First and Second Amendments, and to whom rights and powers are reserved in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, refers to a class of persons who are part of a national community or who have otherwise developed sufficient connection with this country to be considered part of that community."
Conclusion
Justice is rooted in lawful conduct and respect. Rights arise from adherence to the law; thus, those who act unlawfully against a nation forfeit their protections. Citizens, bound by legal allegiance, have safeguards not extended to alien invaders who engage in hostile acts. This principle affirms that while citizens are entitled to due process, those who threaten national integrity unlawfully are not granted the same rights, highlighting the link between justice and rightful conduct.
