Kathy Hochul’s pick for New York’s chief judge of the state Court of Appeals, are convinced the Democratic civil war over his nomination will end up in court.Hochul, a Democrat, said Thursday her office is “considering all our options” after theby a single vote the day before.
But Hochul may not have to bring a suit herself. It’s possible LaSalle could sue, or perhaps even Senate Republicans who tried, in vain, to make a motion for a full Senate vote as the committee abruptly adjourned its meeting on Wednesday. Ten senators — all Democrats — of the 19-member judiciary committee voted against LaSalle’s nomination on Wednesday, preventing it from going to the floor for a vote. The committee’s six Republicans, meanwhile, were among those who voted to allow the nomination to proceed without a formal recommendation.faced opposition from labor unions and many Senate Democrats
It all left some of Hochul’s fellow Democrats questioning why the governor or LaSalle’s supporters would pursue a lawsuit at all, considering the full Senate would appear poised to reject him anyway. Ramirez said he believes there will be a lawsuit that could make its way to the state’s high court and give LaSalle’s supporters another opportunity to get him over the finish line.
