    We don’t want to make it acceptable for a governor to remove a mayor because they feel like it.

    “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?

                There’s literally nothing stopping him from defending himself. What are you even talking about?

                  He needs to be provided that opportunity before being removed as the law states. He isn’t defending himself in the press. There needs to be some form of inquiry or trial.

                  How is this so hard for people to figure out? If you get accused of something you have the right to defend yourself.
