Powell Case Hangs on Court Orders and House Funding
Powell faces possible future pay orders and legal delays as court action lingers. The House may name defendants from staff while members direct funds, keeping the purse strings. With appeals open, a final ruling could arrive next year or move to the Supreme Court with a new chief justice and Fortas replacement. Powell's defiance spurred his exclusion move, and he has since cleared slander and contempt charges and paid a $25,000 fine to remain seated.
