OK, so she got the position from political connections, not because she is qualified for the job.
I don't know how well she has been able to apply the law in the past. But it's clear to me that, of late, she's become increasingly irrational and high maintenance for the liberal establishment in that state. She's an embarassment. In the recent past, she's misappropriated public monies for her own enrichment, she's freed a cop shooter with only the flimsiest rationale and now she's become an accessory after the fact in the commission of a violent felony. She should not only be removed from the bench but from the practice of law as well. She's a menace. But the NY state bar is driven primarily by politics in cases like hers. So is the NY commission tasked with overseeing the judiciary.
