........the US Supreme Court held a sheriff and some of his deputies in contempt for allowing a mob to hang an inmate.

This case was the U.S. vs Shipp in 1906. It was the last time SCOTUS held anyone in contempt. A trial was held involving Sheriff Joseph F. Shipp and 5 of his deputies. All were found guilty (on Contempt charges) and sentenced to imprisonment for hanging Ed Johnson. All involved were from Tennessee.

Precisely. We need measures like that to dissuade politicians from partaking in this obvious nonsense.
