1. Marshall v. Gordon, No. 606, SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, Argued December 11, 12, 1916 , April 23, 1917
OVERVIEW: U.S. House of Representatives did not have the power to deal with the conduct of a district attorney in writing a letter to the press as contempt of its authority because its implied power to deal with contempt rested only upon the right to prevent acts which in and of themselves inherently obstructed or prevented the discharge of legislative duty.
