Judges, who are lawyers, always make sure other lawyers get money from the public trough.

I thought that was for people who could not afford an attorney?

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Setting a precedent where one pays their own legal fees would fuck it up for those that steal taxpayer dollars.

I hate writing that, makes me sound libertarian but that is what's happening here.

If we have everyone pay their own legal fees, who do you think is going to have better access to legal assistance -- rich people or poor people?

How about if the winner gets paid by the loser -- what does that do to access to legal representation? Do you think that rich people will get more representation than otherwise?

It depends on what the state law says. Everybody has to abide by the law. It doesn't matter whether you like the person or not.

Everybody is complaining that they shouldn't. Doesn't matter if people like the guy or not. If the state is stopping something that Cuomo gets by state law that's wrong whether you like the guy or not. Everybody has equal rights.

I mean they're not wrong.

Reddit likes to demand that the law get thrown away whenever something seems "unfair", but without a court case that would absolve the state of financial responsibility, they may be stuck footing the bill.

Can a lawsuit be brought against a judge?

The plaintive was on Cuomo's security detail and told investigators he allegedly subjected her to sexual remarks and on occasion ran his hand or fingers across her stomach and her back. The lawsuit seeks damages for “severe mental anguish and emotional distress.”

Cuomo is, in fact, another political lecher and New Yorkers probably shouldn't have elected him governor. At various times they could have picked Kirsten Gillibrand or Zephyr Teachout or Cynthia Nixon. Along with getting elected, though, he does get legal coverage for activities while in office.

At the same time it seems to me that Cuomo's accuser is riding on the coattails of other far more deserving targets of his advances. Not least of which...

According to Politico, Cuomo used the weeks after his resignation to mount a revenge campaign against his successor Kathy Hochul and other perceived enemies, financing it with $18 million of leftover campaign donations.

It turns out before it became much more common, that one of the biggest diploma mills actually used the address for the Motel 6 in Gillette. We had a guy at work that had a fake PHD. degree, and he wanted everyone to call him Dr. Even had it on his answering machine, until we pranked it so many times he gave up.

I keep thinking what would the United States done without his leadership and daily news coverage about covid when tRump was president and telling us to inject bleach. I’ll always be grateful to him for that.

Yeah, The Cuomo administration’s March 25 directive barred nursing homes from refusing people just because they had COVID-19. Such a life saver. And intentionally lying about his COVID numbers, so he could look like he was doing better than he really was. What a champ. It is now nearly 15,000 up from the 8,500 previously disclosed.

On March 5, 2021, the New York legislature voted 43–20 in the Senate and 107–43 in the Assembly to strip Cuomo of his emergency powers.

Do you actually have any idea how many covid patients died in Florida, and Oklahoma, and this was after the delta strain, when we actually had a vaccine. Both of these governors hid actual Covid numbers, New York was ground zero, and extremely vulnerable. lessons were learned. I brought my mother home from the nursing home until the vaccine was available. I’m not saying Cuomo had all the answers, but he was at least being reasonable not crazy.
