Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday that court decisions “stand whether one particular person chooses to abide by them or not,” days after two of President Donald Trump ’s top lieutenants attacked rulings that halted some of his contentious executive orders.

A federal judge threatened the administration with being found in criminal contempt on Monday after the White House defied his order to release billions of dollars in congressionally authorized federal grants that Trump had frozen.
