The article discusses the evolving perception of Executive overreach under the Trump administration, especially regarding compliance with judicial orders. Justice Sonia Sotomayor initially believed legal norms would rein in such behavior but later acknowledged a failure within law schools to uphold due process. Former Justice Stephen Breyer posited that high-ranking officials could face criminal contempt for defiance against courts, emphasizing ongoing faith in the rule of law. However, challenges exist, particularly with enforcement relying on the Attorney General's willingness to act appropriately.
Breyer expressed optimism about holding the Trump administration accountable, suggesting that high-ranking officials could be held in criminal contempt for ignoring court orders.
As concerns over Executive overreach became bipartisan, Sotomayor reflected on law schools' failure to uphold due process norms effectively.
