In Supreme Court of Va. v. Consumers Union of the United States, Inc., 446 U.S. 719 , 732, 100 S. Ct. 1967 , 1974 (1980), it was argued that legislative immunity should not extend to the Virginia Supreme Court in connection with its promulgation of the state bar code because "many executive and agency officials wield authority to make rules in a wide variety of circumstances." See id. at 734, 100 S.Ct. at 1975. The Supreme Court rejected this argument, stating that "in this case the Virginia Supreme Court claims inherent power to regulate the Bar, and. . . it is exercising the State's entire legislative power with respect to regulating the Bar, and its members are the State's legislators for the purpose of issuing the Bar Code." Id. at 734, 100 S.Ct. at 1975-76.
