Supreme Court rules Congressmen have immunity from investigations
The Supreme Court, in a 9 to 1 decision with Justice Douglas dissenting, held that Congress and its aides enjoy absolute immunity from laws designed to impede legitimate investigations. The ruling reversed a lower court decision barring Senate subpoenas of bank records tied to the Servicemen's Fund, with Justice Burger delivering the majority opinion.
