Sanction is the key word here. Official authorization or approval might be a too strong an interpretation here but encourage or tolerate by indicating approval would be another. The thing about politicians is that they can always find a way to say or do something so it get done but can spin it six ways to sunday to make it seem like something else enitrely. Not unlike how they sneak clauses in bills they pass everyday in congress right under most of our noses.
