*         Completed Sessions and Christie dailies

*         Watched Christie press conference where he accused Cruz and Kasich of being delusional

*         Watched for Sessions at two hearings, neither of which he showed up at.

*         I saw that Jeff Sessions put out a condolence press release for the death of Perry Hooper, Sr.,  a former Alabama Supreme Court justice. I did some digging for more info on him and possible liabilities, but nothing showed up that suggested there was anything to hit him on for it.

*         Sent around the resume drop flyer to a few friends

*         Researched and bulleted articles for the Sessions Top Hits doc

Fun discovery for the day: Sessions claimed that Bob Jones University v. United States was the antecedent of Windsor, which is exceptionally wrong, considering the fact that Bob Jones says the government CAN discriminate against private entities, while Windsor says it CAN'T. It's almost as if Windsor is a retreat from Bob Jones. But that's neither here nor there.

IN BOB JONES UNIVERSITY V. UNITED STATES, THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE IRS COULD PULL TAX EXEMPTION FROM AN INSTITUTION THAT BANNED INTERRACIAL DATING AND MARRIAGE

"In Bob Jones University V. United States The Court Ruled The Federal Government Could Take Away The Tax-Exempt Status Of The Fundamentalist School Because It Refused To Recognize Interracial Marriages Or Allow Blacks And Whites To Date While Attending The School." [The Daily Beast, 7/20/15<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/20/the-gop-reach-around-on-gay-marriage.html>]

... AND JEFF SESSIONS DECLARED THAT THIS RULING LED TO THE LEGALIZATION OF GAY MARRIAGE...

The Daily Beast: "According To Sessions, The 'Slippery Slope' Set Up By Bob Jones University V. United States Has Now Been Realized Some 30 Years Later In Its Ruling On Gay Marriage." "Seems like an odd case to hinge a contemporary proposal on, right? Not to Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions..."I think that was a problematic ruling and at the time it was widely discussed how broadly that ruling could be extended and potential problems it would create," Sessions said in the basement of the Capitol. "Anybody that denies that doesn't understand law." According to Sessions, the "slippery slope" set up by Bob Jones University v. United States has now been realized some 30 years later in its ruling on gay marriage."

Also, the possible litigation against the NHDP is pretty surreal, in case you hadn't heard about it before.
