I remember reading an article claiming that the court held Bruce Babbitt in contempt for not furnishing the court with the papers they wanted. He was fined $600,000, if I remember correctly. But it turns out that no individual in his position can be tried on a personal basis so therefore the fine was paid from taxpayers money, and Babbitt resigned and walked clear and free.

Thanks for your recall and posting this summary.
