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.
If you believe the rule of law is important than you need to actually follow the laws you have on record. We don’t want to make it acceptable for a governor to remove a mayor because they feel like it.
You advocate for an unjust action so do you really believe in a just government and rule of law? You are willing to flout them in this case.
"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?
