        The rule of law is important, that’s the entire point. It’s being flouted openly in all corners or our government. I can support a just government, but we do not have one, and we do not stand a chance of instating one without removing the openly corrupt one that we have in place. Simple as that.

            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 “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?

            This whole fucking story is about a law on record. They’re not talking about just taking Adams out back for a summary execution.
