"Now I guess just following orders when they feel like it is the order of the day."

Not when they feel like it. But orders must be legal orders, or it is unlawful to follow them. For example, an order to murder someone is illegal. So is an order to assist in the murder of someone, etc.

"Just following orders" as an excuse got a lot of Nazi's hanged after WW2.

And jamming a tube back into a woman who has a legally decided court decision is ... illegal.
