For attorneys only: Jeb Bush ignored Greer's order, what is this called ?
Edited on Sun Mar-27-05 12:52 AM by steve2470
Exhibit A - The Tampa Tribune coverage of the Thursday night hearing in Tampa:

<snip>

George Felos told Greer he again had reason to believe the DCF was about to try to take Terri Schiavo from the hospice with the help of Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents.

As he had the evening before, the judge asked a DCF lawyer for assurances the agency would not take unilateral action in violation of court orders.

DCF attorney Keith Gonobsik said he could offer no such guarantee.

The agency is mandated by law to protect Terri Schiavo while it investigates allegations of abuse lodged against Michael Schiavo, Gonobsik said.

Greer said he would not allow the DCF to interfere with his order that Terri Schiavo's feeding tube be removed according to her wishes.

The judge again ordered Pinellas County Sheriff Jim Coates to back up Pinellas Park police should state agents show up at the hospice.

Exhibit B - The now infamous incident last night in Pinellas Park, first reported by the Miami Herald at:

Barristers of DU, what is this pattern of behavior called ? On edit: 2nd part of question - Could his behavior, although perhaps not illegal, be grounds for impeachment ?

4. I'm not a laywer
but I don't think it's called anything. Bush didn't interfere with a court order. He considered doing so, but I don't think that's a crime.

7. If Jeb had actually defied the order
I imagine it would be either criminal contempt or obstruction of justice.

8. I'm a lawyer, and I can tell you exactly what it's called:
More Bush family political whoremongering bullshit.

I'm sorry if this is too technical.

9. Old Leftie Lawyer's right
and the serious answer is that he didn't actually do it. He created the impression that he was doing it so the fundi's thought his hands were tied and a showdown occurred.

It would probably be contempt, but it would depend on how the powers were spelled out in the Fla constitution which I am too lazy to obtain.
