What aguments did Walter Lippmann and certain justices of the Supreme Court use to justify the internment policy?

Walter Lippmann and certain Supreme Court justices justified the internment policy during World War II by arguing that it was a necessary wartime measure to protect national security. They claimed that the internment of Japanese Americans was essential to prevent espionage and sabotage, given the context of the war and fears regarding loyalty. Lippmann, in particular, emphasized the need for the government to act decisively in the face of perceived threats, while the justices often deferred to the executive branch's judgment in matters of national security. This rationale ultimately prioritized security over individual rights, leading to significant civil liberties violations.
