Williams, Congresswoman v. Powell

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the appellants' facial challenges to the statute regulating disruption of legislative sessions and conduct in specified legislative facilities. It held that the challenged provisions were not facially overbroad or vague because their legitimate scope was sufficiently limited and their terms provided fair notice and enforcement standards. The court also affirmed dismissal of Representative Cannon's as-applied challenge because the complaint did not allege conduct prohibited by the statute.
