Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse requested information from Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito tied to an interview with The Wall Street Journal last year.

Justice Samuel Alito is the latest member of the Supreme Court to have had a scandal flagged by the media.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin issued the subpoena to Leonard Leo on Thursday as part of the panel's investigation into ethics practices at the Supreme Court.

The council – which voted 4-1 with Councilmember Renee Contreras-DeLoach dissenting – approved $40,000 for an outside consultant to help create an overlay zone: which can direct certain aspects of development within specific neighborhoods, such as increasing or decreasing residential density, though the council noted they lean toward using it for the former purpose. 

The Marble Freedom Trust, a group associated with conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo, recently poured $216 million into various causes, tax forms show.

In granting the demurrer filed by the city, Judge Timothy Canning ruled that the city, in its regular practice of publicly posting their agendas six days in advance of the meeting, would have turned their regular Oct. 3 meeting into a special meeting had they placed the Housing for All initiative after posting their agenda.
