NY gov (Cuomo) blocks some federal judges from officiating at weddings - because they might be Trump nominees
NBC 'News' ^ | 12/23/19 | Allan Smith

Posted on 12/23/2019 7:26:00 AM PST by Libloather

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has vetoed a non-controversial bipartisan bill that would have allowed all federal judges to officiate weddings in the state because some might have been nominated to the bench by President Donald Trump.

"I cannot in good conscience support legislation that would authorize such actions by federal judges who are appointed by this federal administration," Cuomo's veto message stated, the New York Post reported.

"President Trump does not embody who we are as New Yorkers," the Democratic governor added on Friday. "The cornerstones that built our great state are diversity, tolerance, and inclusion. Based on these reasons, I must veto this bill."

The legislation, sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Liz Krueger, passed the state Senate by a 61 to 1 vote. It passed the state Assembly by a 144 to 2 tally. Both the state Senate and Assembly are under Democratic control.

Currently, New York law permits all state judges in their official capacity to preside over wedding ceremonies, although only certain federal judges - like those in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and those at each of the state's federal district courts - are eligible to preside over weddings. This bill would have expanded the wedding authority to all federal judges, largely those from outside of New York.

Why should federal judges be officiating in a state matter?

One of the most amazing people New York ever produced, and this staggering asshole has this to say?

All the Cuomos is Fredo.

You’re all the dumbest brother. Even the dad.

“The cornerstones that built our great state are diversity, tolerance, and inclusion.”

Which is why he and his fellow liberal practice bigotry, intolerance, and exclusion.

He’ll leave when he’s done with the grift.

Petty. To the point of being absolutely ridiculous.

There is no reason for a Republican president to pay any attention to NY state anymore; let it continue circling the drain. My state of NJ is in the same boat; both states want Trump to send billions for a makework project (building another tunnel under the Hudson River between them), while attacking Trump simultaneously.

Trump should direct those funds elsewhere, to American states.

Castration by butter knife is too kind for what’s left of the Cuomo family. Mario was at least a guy you could relate to even when you disagreed. No sense passing on this DNA.

TRULY....

This is a real example of someone who is not fit to govern.

You know how they said that constantly about President Trump?

When this guy speaks he is insane.

As come on! I would bet my right arm that Hunter Biden’s marriage was done by a federal court judge. It’s how the ruling class builds a resume for purposes of graft.

“President Trump does not embody who we are as New Yorkers,”


That’s funny, I thought that President Trump was born and raised in New York. Was I misinformed?

Gotta admit; I’ve never seen a walking talking person made entirely of human feces until Cuomo came along. Must be a product of Satan with the help of the smelly swamp aka democrat party.

Petty TDS, with Cuomo trying to gussy up the veto with a non-sensical argument.

Cuomo is totally out of the mainstream on this issue, as evidenced by the almost unanimous support by Republicans and Democrats in the NYS Assembly and Senate.

Whatever - Cuomo is who New Yorkers elected.

NY state senate and assembly can easily override it’s veto.

His father was a gutless ass, his brother is a hypocritical, stupid ass. Andrew Cuomo is al that and a cuckold as well.

“diversity, tolerance, and inclusion” - taken directly from the State Constitution, I’m sure.
