    So you don’t believe rule of law is important? If you believe what you claim you cannot support any form of a just government.

      So you don’t believe rule of law is important?

      The Supreme Court is compromised. The Federal courts are partially in the hands of MAGA placeholders. Trump is attempting to nullify the constitution by executive order. There is no rule of law.

      It’s justice outside the formal system or no justice at all. Standing by idly and allowing elite impunity is not an acceptable approach.

        The thing is if you want to maintain rule of law then you need to follow those rules. You can’t just decide to ignore it when you want to but then pretend you have any legitimacy. That would make you no different than any other dictator.

      The rule of law is important, that’s the entire point. It’s being flouted openly in all corners or our government. I can support a just government, but we do not have one, and we do not stand a chance of instating one without removing the openly corrupt one that we have in place. Simple as that.

        If you believe the rule of law is important than you need to actually follow the laws you have on record. We don’t want to make it acceptable for a governor to remove a mayor because they feel like it.

        You advocate for an unjust action so do you really believe in a just government and rule of law? You are willing to flout them in this case.

          This whole fucking story is about a law on record. They’re not talking about just taking Adams out back for a summary execution.

          “Because they feel like it?” Are you unaware of the charges against him or something? This isn’t based on feelings it’s based on the crimes he’s committed while in office that he and Trump are trying to sweep under the rug.

            The notion that he should be removed without a trial or opportunity to defend himself is in fact illegal. Hochul has to let Adams defend himself against the charges.

            The “they feel like it” would be for the next time not this situation. This is why it is important to nit create bad precedents like this

              Considering the GOP is so good about following “precedent?” How absurd. This law is specific to NY so what other states are you referring to when you claim that other governors might do this too?

                Do you think rule of law should only be maintained when both of the two major parties supports it?

                Do you think Hochul is going to win reelection? Do you think she will never be replaced? The precedent is for the NY governors that follow her. Wasn’t that obvious?
