Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday that she has faith federal court orders will be honored in the United States amid a roiling debate over President Donald Trump’s commitment to following judicial rulings that have put some of his policies on hold.

By and large, we have been a country who has understood that the rule of law has helped us maintain our democracy,” the U.S. Supreme Court justice said.

The Supreme Court justice did not mention President Donald Trump, whose top advisers have recently questioned the power of judges to block Trump’s initiatives.
