If Greer files charges against Jeb, my understanding is that he could only face impeachment by the legislature. It again, and rightly so, brings forth the idea of the equal branches of government. Greer cannot have Jeb arrested or anything. He's the governor and afforded special protections from the judiciary. Only the legislature could decide Jeb's fate as governor. It only has to be in Jeb's will that he go through with his responsibility to protect Terri as listed in both the FL Constitution and state statutes.

14.01 Governor; residence; office; authority to protect life, liberty, and property.--The Governor shall reside at the head of government, and the Governor's office shall be in the capitol. The Governor may have such other offices within the state as he or she may deem necessary. The Governor may employ as many persons as he or she, in his or her discretion, may deem necessary to procure and secure protection to life, liberty, and property of the inhabitants of the state, also to protect the property of the state.

Governor Bush has at his disposal not only law enforcement, but also the FL national guard, to enforce the law as he sees fit. I would say that some in the state police refusing his order and following a judges qualifies as a rebellion.

14.02 Governor may preserve peace and order by military force.--The Governor may, in cases of insurrection or rebellion, violence, disorder or insecurity of life, liberty and property, support and preserve the public peace and order by the military force of the state.

"14.02 Governor may preserve peace and order by military force.--The Governor may, in cases of insurrection or rebellion, violence, disorder or insecurity of life, liberty and property, support and preserve the public peace and order by the military force of the state."

JUDGE GREER HAS ORDERED THE STATE POLICE TO REFUSE TO OBEY THE GOVERNOR?

HE HAS NO AUTHORITY TO DO THIS.

IF THIS IS NOT A REBELLION, THEN WHAT IS???
