 USA v. Durenberger David F
Durenberger filed a motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground that principles of separation of powers rendered the case nonjusticiable and, on the same day, another motion to dismiss on the ground that 2 U.S.C. § 68 barred his prosecution.
Durenberger's contentions thus amount to a claim that, as a former member of the Senate, he cannot be held to answer criminal charges when his liability depends on judicial usurpation of the Senate's exclusive right to formulate its internal rules.
Durenberger maintains that he may not be prosecuted for making a false claim in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 287 because the "plain and unambiguous terms" of § 68 foreclose the Department of Justice from "second-guessing" a Rules Committee determination to grant payment on such vouchers.
