Quote from Felix Frankfurter 

"It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the
safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy.
History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty
extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end."
