Quote of the Day

“A comment by U.S. Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions that he would ‘revisit’ the Department of Justice‘s opinion on the legality of online gaming also has been ‘overblown,’ [Chris Grove and Adam Krejcik] write. Sessions declined to be a co-sponsor in recent years of a Senate bill that would have led to an online gaming ban.” — John Brennan, on the performance of online gambling in New Jersey. Sessions’ statement sounds, in the cool light of reflection, like the kind of senatorial sop thrown out during confirmation, telling the questioner (in this case, Sen. Lindsey Graham [R]) what they want to hear.
