New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has vetoed a popular state bill sponsored by a member of his own party because it would have allowed any federal appellate or district judges, even those appointed by the Trump administration, to officiate wedding ceremonies in the Empire State.
That will show the president who is the boss.
“I cannot in good conscience support legislation that would authorize such actions by federal judges who are appointed by this federal administration,” the governor said in his veto message. “President Trump does not embody who we are as New Yorkers.”
We are all about “diversity, tolerance, and inclusion,” Cuomo's note continued.
“Based on these reasons, I must veto this bill,” he wrote, adding once more in what I presume is a mistake, “Based on these reasons, I must veto this bill.”
For the record, the list of officials who can legally officiate a wedding in New York is long and comprehensive, and it includes the governor himself. State judges can officiate weddings, but federal appeals and district court judges cannot! Take that, Drumpf!

Derangement is strong in this one...
ReplyDeleteCuomo and his son are both manboys...
ReplyDeleteDid he just say that he is standing up for "diversity and inclusion"??
ReplyDeleteI guess he REALLY meant "as long as I agree with it"....
Do the democrats ever listen to the things they are saying??
Trump is going to destroy ANY of them. The ONLY thing I'm glad to see is them spending their money chasing a never-gonna-happen dream.
ReplyDeleteFredo's brother is just as big a loon!
"Do the democrats ever listen to the things they are saying?" No, they only say what's convenient at the time, and if need be the story changes to suit their needs. Look at any of the Demonrats at its apparent.
