From the March 2009 Progress Report,
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/march-2009-progress-report

"On March 17, Roger attended a hearing at the US Sentencing Commission,
where Seth Schoen from EFF was testifying in opposition to a new "if
you use a proxy when committing a crime, it's a sophisticated crime so
you get more jail-time" clause they were considering. It turned out one
of the commissioners is an avid Tor user, so they were sympathetic to
his testimony. "
