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

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.

Cuomo is as much of a lunatic as DeNiro.

““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.””

Funny, I thought Donald Trump was the embodiment of New Yorkers. Born and raised in NY, made his fortune in NY, hired thousands of workers in NY.

I must be missing something here.

Does NY not have a veto override? This bill passed with nearly 100% of the vote of both houses.

“...extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay...”

What is “extreme” about that???

If anyone is “extreme” it is Cuomo.....

I swear his dictionary has this entry:

“Irony - that look your clothes get after being pressed.”

Manahattan is not dominated the “ Diversity Tolerance and Inclusion Tower”

Cuomo, look at NYC iconic development.

Can they sue him for defamation? He’s basically smearing them all as having ‘bad character’. He can’t even cite specific reasons for a given judge.

Meet the left's new standard response for violating federal law and renouncing all judicial decisions.
