Governor Kathy Hochul is the first governor in New York’s history to have her pick for the state’s top judge rejected, but she is not admitting defeat just yet.
"We are certainly weighing all of our options," Hochul said at a separate event on Thursday.
Many Democrats argued that LaSalle has ruled against unions, shielded anti-abortion pregnancy centers and allowed jurors to be blocked from serving due to their skin color. "As an LGBTQ person, the Conservative Party stands for everything I’m against, against my right to marry, against my ability to have kids, against transgender youth," Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal said during the hearing. "It’s hurtful."But former Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman argues that in this case, it is required by the constitution.
