Senator Bill Langer's Sedition Defendants
Senator Bill Langer gave a two-hour speech on the Senate floor in support of defendants charged with sedition. The judge considered holding Senator Langer in contempt, potentially threatening him with jail time too. Judge Eicher was reportedly concerned about members of Congress who were already expressing hostility to the trial. He worried it might spark even more harassment and antagonism from Capitol Hill.
