2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We therefore conclude that petitioner’s contempt lay in refusing to testify at all on the subject inquiry, that his communicated intent made it clear at the outset that the authority of the Court was frontally challenged and the seriousness of the offense fully delineated, and that the contempt could not therefore be multi plied ... by running through the entire list of questions.”
