Contempt and defiance

Occasions since January 2025 on which a court spoke and the administration did not follow - together with the rhetoric aimed at the judges who spoke. The table indexes compliance rather than rulings, which is why an entry can appear here even where the government eventually complied: the status column records what happened after the order, and Complied late is kept distinct from Still defying. Rhetorical defiance is included, because a sustained public argument that courts may not constrain the executive is a different thing from criticism of a ruling, but it is labelled as rhetoric and never mixed with judicial findings. Where a judge has made a formal finding, the status says so and the source is the order.
