Quotation from Korematsu v. United States by Supreme Court of the United States
“To find that the Constitution does not forbid the military measures now complained of does not carry with it approval of that which Congress and the Executive did. That is their business, not ours.”
Korematsu v. United States, Concurrence of Justice Frankfurter (U.S. Reports text (Wikisource))
Frankfurter separates constitutional permission from political approval.
