New Jersey Sues Justice Department Over Online Gambling
New Jersey Sues Justice Department – The State of New Jersey has joined New Hampshire as one of the states to sue the Justice Department over their recent reversal of opinion on the Federal Wire Act. New Jersey had demanded documentation related to their revised interpretation of the act, and the DOJ failed to respond. The Department of Justice reversed its 2011 Wire Act this past January, ruling the law’s prohibition applies to all forms of gambling and not just sports betting. New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal and his Pennsylvania counterpart Josh Shapiro hit out at the decision, demanding…

Tennessee Online Sports Betting Approved
Tennessee online sports betting will not be opposed by the governor after a vote of approval last week in the state House of Representatives. The Tennessee Senate also passed legislation that would permit online gambling for sports events beginning July 1, while continuing to prohibit the practice at brick-and-mortar locations. Despite being opposed to the legalization of gambling, Gov. Bill Lee says he will allow a Tennessee sports betting bill to become law without his signature. Senate Bill 16 narrowly passed on a vote of 19 to 12, as it did in the House 58 to 37. Afterward, the House…
Net Neutrality Death? Here Come Internet “Fast Lanes”
Who’s afraid of the Net Neutrality Death? Well, we’ve been warning our readers of the perils of killing Net Neutrality for some time now. While many agreed with our position on the importance of keeping a fair and balanced Internet, some have called us crazy. To those few, we can now gently say “told ya so” and point to the beginning of the end. Very quietly, Cox Communication is now offering a new service… an Internet “fast lane“, if you will. A service that will reduce latency, disconnections, and lag spikes… unlike those poor fools on the regular, not-quite-as-fast Internet….
Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein Resigns
US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein resigns, as he had been planning to do for months. It’s not his age or another job opportunity; it’s a chaotic and taxing work environment, and it has been since the start of the Trump administration. Rosenstein paid close attention to the Wire Act decision and the reactions to it from various states. AG Jeff Sessions tendered his resignation in early November 2018, putting Rosenstein in charge of the DOJ pending the process of nominating and voting in a new AG. Not long after, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission filed its lawsuit against the…
Justice Department Wire Act Shell Game
In another supplemental filing offered by the DOJ and the US Attorney’s Office in the lawsuit brought by New Hampshire Lottery and entities, the Justice Department Wire Act opinion evades the question of whether the re-re-interpreted law applies to those lotteries. In the most recent filing, submitted on April 25, DOJ attorneys again try to have it both ways. In response to New Hampshire’s most recent filing regarding the reach of the term “whoever”, which is an important legal point within the 1961 act, the DOJ continues to dispute New Hampshire’s assertions and motion for summary judgment. Instead, the DOJ…
