Not sustain, in a way (8)

I believe the answer is:

overrule

(Other definitions for overrule that I've seen before include "Disallow a decision" , "Don't allow" , "Reverse someone else's decision" , "This is not OK" , "Set aside decision using own authority" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
