contempt power

Read a random definition: non repugnantia

A quick definition of contempt power:

Contempt power: This is the power of a public institution, like Congress or a court, to punish someone who disrespects or ignores their rules and processes. It's like when a teacher punishes a student for not following the classroom rules. The institution has the power to make sure everyone follows the rules and takes their proceedings seriously.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Contempt power refers to the authority of a public institution, such as Congress or a court, to penalize an individual who displays disrespect or disobedience towards the institution's processes, orders, or proceedings.

Example: If a witness in a court case refuses to answer a question or lies under oath, the judge may hold them in contempt of court. This could result in a fine or even imprisonment.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the court has the power to punish someone who shows contempt for its proceedings. By refusing to answer a question or lying under oath, the witness is showing disrespect towards the court's authority and the legal process. The judge can use their contempt power to maintain order and ensure that the court's proceedings are respected.
