The NY attorney general’s office also was already up for election this fall. The filing deadline for candidates is not until July 12 — so we almost certainly are going to see a bunch of candidates, unless the legislature happens to pick someone who can take over the field.
The real question, for starters, is how quickly will the NY legislature act? By my read of the law, they technically could appoint the person who will fill the office tomorrow, before Schneiderman even leaves the office.
Until the legislature acts, NY Solicitor General Barbara Underwood will take over as acting attorney general after Schneiderman leaves office, the NY AG’s Office confirmed late Monday night.https://www.buzzfeed.com/briannasacks/new-york-attorney-general-schneiderman-abuse …
There’s interesting case law on what it means when two houses vote by joint ballot. Not sure if any NY case law, several cases around the US I researched 20 years ago means they all vote together, winner doesn’t need an S majority and an H majority, just majority of all members.
Yes. That’s why I wrote it like that. That is what it is.
That means a huge D majority in NYAssembly would outvote tiny R+IDC Senate majority
May I suggest they appoint .@PreetBharara STAT!
Oh good god.
Appoint Hillary Clinton,that would be Poetic justice.
