...Chicago, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, also the special counsel in the CIA-leak investigation, is presiding over an ongoing contracting and patronage probe that has already led to 30 indictments, including those of two lieutenants of Mayor Richard Daley. A federal official tells TIME that the bureau is looking closely at possible Daley links to the scandal, although an FBI spokesman stresses that Daley himself is not implicated to date. At the same time, former Illinois Governor George Ryan stands trial on various corruption charges (which he denies) that arose initially out of a probe into whether low-number license...

Part of the job of the Office of Legal Counsel is to protect the authority of the President. And in that department, Alito seemed to support expanding the power of the presidency in ways that worry congressional Democrats today. He was part of the Litigation Strategy Working Group, a team of about a dozen officials that Attorney General Edwin Meese appointed to help embed Reagan's philosophy more deeply into the legal system. In a 1986 memo to the group, Alito proposed to have Reagan issue "signing statements," defining exactly how the President understood a law's meaning, when...
