What makes a Supreme Court opinion legitimate is when it is in harmony with the text of our Constitution and its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.
”The Partnership for New York City, the Big Apple’s largest business advocacy organization, will meet with progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to voice their concerns over details of his stay-out-of-jail free card for criminals.
Some members of the group are so angered by Bragg’s new policies that they are also discussing efforts to recall the newly elected prosecutor, The Post has learned.”
“Recall of elected officials is not permitted in New York. While recall elections do not occur, the New York Constitution states, “Any town, village, improvement district or fire district officer, except a justice of the peace, may be removed from office by the supreme court for any misconduct, maladministration, malfeasance or malversation in office.” Any citizen within the officeholder’s district may submit an application for removal to the local branch of the appellate division of the supreme court”.[1]

Today’s Democrat Party Leadership is infested with Socialist Revolutionaries, the same kind that took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist!
“Two years ago, a person arrested would be in custody and set to be arraigned in 72 hours,” said Moore. “Today, that process is, with the zero-bail, that person is in and out back in the community and their next court appearance is an arraignment that’s four or five months out.”
Moore said homicides have gone up about 50% since 2019 and aggravated assaults have gone up about 16%.
If people who are released on recognizance are committing crimes then the problem isn’t the lack of bail, its that the people responsible for determining if an offender is a threat or flight risk are not doing a good job.
Moore said homicides have gone up about 50% since 2019 and aggravated assaults have gone up about 16%.
Bragg’s policy doesn’t refer to homicides and aggravated assaults. Are you implying that people who are arrested for non-violent offenses and released on recognizance are going and killing people?
"Cops charged Rolon with first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a weapon in the first incident, sources said.
But when he was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court early Sunday morning, the robbery charge was dropped by the Manhattan DA’s Office and he was instead charged with two counts of petit larceny and related low-level offenses, including second-degree menacing, court papers show."
Menacing in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.
The article goes on to note: “At the time of Rolon’s arrest Saturday, he was wanted in Brooklyn for failing to appear in court in October on charges that include felony assault with a weapon, records show.”

The Democrat Party Leadership, once an advocate for hard working American citizens and their families, is now their most formidable domestic enemy.
That’s what they do . . . bait and switch, obfuscate, deflect, exaggerate, instigate, and use any other tactic to avoid a productive discussion.

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. They are Socialist Revolutionaries, the very kind who took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist.
Guess my interpretation of the memo was wrong. Despite that, its still too soon to see if his policies will make Manhattan less safe unless you have evidence that Rolon robbed the drug store because of the memo.
Says the one who advocates : “From each according to their ability to pay, to each who needs help living a decent life.” ___ fallenturtle
You fit right in with Alvin Bragg’s crowd who is using his power to spread the wealth from those who have worked to earned it to those who steal it.
