I need respect no law that decrees an innocent person must be starved to death, nor any court ruling that such a law is just or proper. There are some cases in which conscience and morality must trump the law.

And there is a constitutional check and balance for just that. It's called an impeachment trial. If the executive disobeys the court, it's the legislature which arbitrates the matter, by choosing to impeach and convict, or not to do the same.
