Very possibly; it strikes me that his style would appeal to her. ("In what distant deeps or skies / burnt the fire of thine eyes? / On what wings dare he aspire? / What the hand dare seize the fire?")

In this particular case, though, she's talking about the legal principle that evidence obtained legally (say, a confession) as a result of evidence obtained illegally (e.g., interrogatory leverage acquired through an illegal search) is itself inadmissible, because it wouldn't have been discovered without the original illegal act. Azula uses it as a metaphor for Katara's starting position, during their wine-infused argument, that any good she might've managed to do for the universe since Karafuto is invalidated by the fact that she was the worst person in the history of the world before then. This is not, perhaps, the most fully formed legal argument ever put forward, but then it was very late at night by that point.
