Supreme Court lets stand contempt citation in Pentagon Papers case
The Supreme Court allowed Harvard political scientist Samuel L. Popkin’s contempt citation to stand after he spent seven days in jail for refusing to disclose confidential sources to a grand jury investigating the Pentagon Papers. The government argued mootness after the jury was discharged, and no current plan to seek testimony exists. The court also agreed to review a lower court ruling on wiretap evidence affecting over 50 prosecutions and noted Ohio judges lacking constitutional grounds to block salary reductions.
