Episode: Julia Salazar Speaks w The Indy on Hector LaSalle's Nomination to Be Chief Judge of NY Highest Court
Description: We speak with New York State senator and socialist Julia Salazar about the growing revolt in the State Senate against Gov. Hochul's nomination of conservative judge Hector LaSalle to lead NYS's highest court for the next 14 years. We also discuss the role of the judiciary in a capitalist state, whether law can be separate from politics, the uses and abuses of identity politics and why the NY Democratic Party establishment has no qualms about betraying its own core supporters.
