Senate Jurisdiction Over Morris Appeal Challenged
Morris argued before the Senate that remarks by Henderson leading to an assault could not be deemed debate and thus not within Senate power to jail him. He contended the attack reflected on deputy sergeants at arms and that he, as a deputy, was not subject to a Senate jail. The dispute centers on whether the Senate has authority in this matter.
