Missouri lawmakers may be jailed for contempt
Jefferson City Missouri March h Good constitutional lawyers in the legislature say the entire house committee was in contempt of court in censuring federal judge Elmer BR Adams of St Louis for his Wabass strike injunction. Some lawmakers fear a citation for attempting to influence pending litigation. If so, a number of lawmakers may face jail as the row over a resolution denouncing Judge Adams erupts. The resolution triggered a rift in the Democratic caucus after learning Adams is a Democrat. The House debates whether those voting for the resolution can be jailed for contempt.
