The Logic and Limits of the Federal Reserve Act - Yale Journal on Regulation
The Federal Reserve is a monetary authority subject to minimal executive and judicial oversight. It also has the power to create money, which permits it to disburse funds without drawing on the U.S. Treasury. Since 2008, it has leveraged this power to an unprecedented extent. It has rescued teetering financial conglomerates, purchased trillions of dollars […]
If Hochul governs from a place of LaSalle vengeance, she will have her veto overruled on the most important bills, inspire significant ill will among the constituencies she needs for reelection, and elevate her intra-party political rivals. Totally bonkers.

That co-sponsor is @[email protected], chair of the New York Senate Judiciary Committee, who played a key role in torpedoing LaSalle’s elevation to the high court.
Hochul previously vetoed a Hoylman bill limiting helicopters in Manhattan after he expressed reservations about LaSalle.

Finally, note how the judiciary fights with the weapons it has. The clerk of court is in a tough position! No one really believes this is a discretionary duty. So what is she to do? Come out too strong either way and risk blowback. Better to stall and hope no one notices. (5/5)
Then again, LaSalle is a court insider — ally of former chief judge, long experience at appellate division, etc. Perhaps not surprising the court system would take his side? (4/5)
Second, and intriguingly, they seem to be siding with the governor. Why intriguing? Because institutionally you might have expected them to be closer to the legislature! After all, most New York judges are connected to local party organs, which are closer to leg than gov. (3/5)
First and most obviously: the courts are a political branch! They have powers, interests, staff, a budget, statutes that they implement, governance duties, relations with other branches to negotiate, and so on. If it weren’t for convention, I’d call them an agency 🤓. (2/5)
As a law professor, I love episodes of interbranch conflict. This is political constitutionalism at work! And it can teach us a lot about how state government operates. (1/5)

Almost 2 weeks after the Senate Judiciary Committee rejected LaSalle, the Court of Appeals is still telling me that thy have no comment on whether there's a vacancy for chief judge.
Again, this matters because the search process can't start until the Court announces a vacancy.

I've spent the last decade writing the same sentence a million times over and over again, phrased differently. I'll try it once more:
Police professionalization is not designed to change how policing operates but is meant to change how everyone else perceives police legitimacy.
