NY Gov. Cuomo blocks judges picked by Trump from officiating New York weddings
ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s feud with President Donald Trump has covered all manner of topics, including taxes, immigration policy and whether America was ever “great.”In an end-of-year kibosh, Cuomo has vetoed a bill that would have permitted federal appeals and district court judges from around the nation to preside over nuptials in New York, thus denying them inclusion on a lengthy list of those so empowered, including the governor himself.
The veto, one of scores that Cuomo, a third-term Democrat, has handed down in the closing days of the year, left Republicans fuming and the bill’s Democratic sponsor befuddled. But, she said, “I’m not sure my moral outrage extends to refusing them the right to perform weddings.” The White House did not respond to requests for comment on the veto. The bill had wide bipartisan support; it passed the Senate, 61-1, in June, and passed the Assembly by similarly impressive margins.
