Summary:

Reviews a case involving charges of discriminatory dismissal from congressional employment based on sex, in which the Supreme Court held that a cause of action might be constitutionally implied for an alleged violation of the due process clause, but reserved judgment on whether the action might be immune from judicial scrutiny under the legislative speech or debate clause.
