There is absolutely NO WAY that I believe that Hochul or Jeffries would ever support an anti abortion judge. They both also strongly support civil rights and workers' rights, too.
I don't know Lasalle's views other than what is reported here. But as a NYer, I DO know the views and activism of Hochul and Jeffries.
What is the evidence that, out of 7 possible candidates, Hochul and Jeffries are leaning toward LaSalle? If they actually are, then I can only conclude that LaSalle is being misportrayed here because I am certain beyond doubt that neither Hochul nor Jeffries would ever support a judgeship candidate as bad as LaSalle is being described here.
