In terms of anti-labor decisions, there was a case where an employer, Cablevision, was suing union leaders.  
And even though that’s illegal in New York, Hector LaSalle went out of his way to say that even if the employer could not sue them as union leaders, he could sue them as individuals, basically exploding and rolling out the red carpet to a loophole to sue labor leaders.  
And that’s why five labor unions have also come out against Hector LaSalle, in addition to the 10 senators who have, as well.

Wow, LaSalle is as corrupt as they come, evidently. But then again he is a conservative.
I don't understand why Gov. Hochul would nominate such an apparently toxic judge w/such an anti-democratic, anti-abortion, anti-labor ruling record.  Unless Gov. Hochul has also had her palms greased in exchange for this toxic nomination.
I hope the progressive opposition succeeds as the fascist right has really fucked this country up - intentionally - so what is sorely needed in govt is LESS backwards, hateful rightwing regressives in positions of power, not more.
Given his atrocious record Hector LaSalle should definitely be kicked to the curb. Shame on Gov. Hochul for making such a toxic pick, surely she can do better?
Why does the New York Democratic Party suck so bad? And I say this coming from the state with what is arguably the 2nd worst state Democratic Party, Texas. I mean, here, the state party is merely weak and completely ineffective. The NY party seems to be actively anti-Democratic Party. >

If you start your opinion with “Judges rule according to the law, not according to politics” you’re already wrong. I don’t know how this country got convinced that judges are apolitical neutral parties that can only determine a single answer that’s totally fair always, all judges interpret the laws through their own biases, left and right. Judges are just people who happened to go to law school, not law-machines. >

And if you start with not knowing the facts of the case just assuming "Democracy Now" has no agenda you are already wrong. 
Do you know the facts of the case? I do. And the judge was right. >

As far as I know I’ve literally never looked at Democracy Now before this moment but sure, I’ll keep that in mind. Can you explain to me why you think judges don’t rule with their own biases, genuinely curious how you can reach that conclusion. >


Can you explain to me why you think judges don’t rule with their own biases

I am sure some do, however there is an entire appeals process to go through and they found the judge ruled fairly. So in this case it is not justified to just claim the judge is biased.
