Daily fantasy sports is neither victimless nor harmless, and it is clear that DraftKings and FanDuel are the leaders of a massive, multi-billion-dollar scheme intended to evade the law and fleece sports fans across the country.
Eric Schneiderman
The right to organize is a fundamental right for American workers.
Unions go hand-in-hand with a strong middle class.
Organizing gives workers the power to lift themselves out of poverty and build a better future.
The Supreme Court should follow settled precedent and allow states like New York to manage our own labor relations to achieve labor peace and government efficiency and to continue our long tradition of support for workers.
Games of chance often involve some amount of skill; this does not make them legal. Good poker players often beat novices. But poker is still gambling, and running a poker room - or online casino - is illegal in New York.
There are few people who exemplify the ideals of opportunity, entrepreneurship and commitment to the collective good than the great New Yorker and the face of the $10 bill, Alexander Hamilton.
A staunch abolitionist, Hamilton was one of the founding members of the New York Manumission Society. He was a trustee and namesake of Hamilton-Oneida Academy, an upstate New York school dedicated to educating Native-American boys.
Morally bankrupt wage practices and laws cannot hold.
The secret's out: New York's Labor Law provides the power to help low-wage workers earn enough to meet their basic needs.
Lawmakers zealously guard their prerogatives, and as much as some might oppose a minimum-wage increase, they will not want to see the issue taken out of their hands.
When someone makes a claim against the state, that person must legally verify that the facts in the claim are true.
People plead guilty or admit to crimes they didn't commit for various reasons. Certain interrogation procedures produce high rates of false confessions.
A statute that lets some wrongfully convicted individuals seek restitution but denies that right to others is an unjust and unequal application of the law.
Just as we demand that people take responsibility for their actions, we as a society must take responsibility for fighting injustice.
I am not in the entertainment business; I am in the justice business.
Trump University had neither a license nor a charter from New York State certifying it as an institution of higher education.
As the state's chief law enforcement officer, it's my job to see that perpetrators of fraud are brought to justice.
These facts are clear: Trump University was an unlicensed enterprise promising students that they would become wealthy by learning Trump's real estate tips and strategies, taught by his handpicked instructors.
A factory-installed security measure - one that phone owners would have to opt out of, rather than opting in - could automatically render purloined devices inoperable on any network, anywhere in the world. No resale value, no thefts.
Manufacturers must accept responsibility for their customers' safety.
Thieves sell to unscrupulous merchants who pay hundreds of dollars for phones - no questions asked - and then 'jailbreak' them. They unlock the units, erase their data, reprogram them, and put them up for resale.
As the state's top lawyer, I am empowered to protect nonprofit donors from fraudulent solicitations and charitable assets from misuse.
When a donor is asked to contribute to a group whose innocuous-sounding name makes it appear to be doing work in the public interest, that donor should have a clear picture of where his or her money is going.
More money is being spent on our elections, with less disclosure of where that money is coming from, than ever before.
Right here in New York, people are struggling in working conditions not much safer or fairer than the sweatshops of 1911.
The workers who harvest our food have been systematically denied the basic rights that are granted to all other American workers. They can be fired for trying to form a union or for attempting to improve their working conditions. They are not eligible for overtime pay, disability, or even unemployment insurance.
By cracking down on wage theft, we can make sure workers and taxpayers are not getting ripped off by crooked employers.
Transactional politics requires us to be pragmatic about current realities and the state of public opinion. It's all about getting the best result possible given the circumstances here and now.
Transformational politics requires us to challenge the way people think about issues, opening their minds to better possibilities.
In 1980, a young Senator Al Gore held the first Congressional hearings on global warming.
Very few checklist liberals will focus on transformational work if they are rewarded or punished only for their transactional work.
In a system that disproportionately harms poor people and people of color, too many Americans have lost faith in the essential American principle of equal justice under law.
Once they are charged, too many poor New Yorkers find themselves trapped by our unjust bail system. Unable to pay for bail, they languish in Rikers Island or other jails while they await trial, regardless of guilt.
I have the highest possible regard for the district attorneys in the State of New York.
When the trust between the police and the communities they serve breaks down, everyone is at risk.
The bottom line is clear: Climate change is a reality, and it is having a real impact.
No woman should have her personal health care decisions dictated by the religious beliefs of her boss.
My commitment to gender equality is rooted in the quintessentially American principle of equal justice under law.
When I was in the Senate, I worked to pass Women's Health and Wellness Act, which bars insurance companies from discriminating against the health care needs of women.
I look forward to continuing to serve the people of New York and making our state a safer place to live, work and raise families for many years to come.
As New York's chief law enforcement officer, I have taken a hard line against those in state government who abuse the law they have sworn to uphold.
Anyone who believes in the essential role government can play in improving people's lives must also be the toughest critics of those who abuse the public trust.
Throughout my career, I have made rooting out public corruption a top priority.
I am running for Attorney General because I believe there is no higher calling than the pursuit of justice.
If you have faith in the public sector, as I do, you must be the harshest critic of corruption, waste and fraud in government.
As Attorney General, my most important responsibility is keeping New Yorkers safe by enforcing the laws that protect our people from harm. But another fundamental part of my job is to seek to advance the basic American principle of equal justice under law.
For more than a century, states have sought to protect the integrity of the democratic process at the state and local level by regulating corporate spending in elections.
In 'Citizens United v. FEC', the Supreme Court ruled that sections of the federal campaign finance law known as McCain-Feingold imposed unconstitutional restrictions on the First Amendment rights of corporations.
Our elected representatives wisely enacted laws to protect our state and local governments from undue outside influence.
