From the Senate’s perspective, the vote puts an end to Hector LaSalle’s bid for chief judge. But Gov. Kathy Hochul and LaSalle’s allies see it differently.

A key state Senate committee on Wednesday rejected New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s pick for chief judge of the state's top court, dealing a stunning setback to the Democratic governor and setting up a potential legal clash with her fellow Democrats who lead the Legislature’s upper house.

 

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted against Hochul’s nomination of Hector LaSalle, a Democratic, midlevel appellate judge who would have been the first Latino to lead the Court of Appeals and the state’s judicial branch. LaSalle has been criticized by labor unions, progressives and reproductive rights organizations who say his judicial record makes him unfit to lead the state’s top court.

 

The vote marked an unprecedented rejection by the Democrat-led state Senate, which had never voted down a governor’s pick for the state’s top court — much less a governor of the same party — since the current system for selecting judges was instituted in 1977.

Yeah I saw. She's going to sue to try to force a floor vote. Although he only got two yes votes so it's not a guarantee a floor vote would actually get him in.

Adam Sullivan holds deep influence over Gov. Kathy Hochul, her administration and campaign team, even as skepticism mounts over his judgment and distance from New York.
