This is why we have three coequal branches of government. In that case, the police powers vested in the executive come into play.

How so. What authority does the executive to disregard an order which is legal according to lawfully-established facts? [BTW, I'm fishing here for the answer that when the judiciary establishes some "facts" that are just plain wrong, as it has in the Schiavo case, rulings predicated upon those "facts" should not be acted upon.]

Exactly. Otherwise we have judicial supremecy.
