Get THIS! Leading New York Dems wanted SCOTUS to throw out a Trump immigration order based on his comments about immigrants. But in court last week, the State’s attorney told the court to ignore @NYGovCuomo’s comments targeting Jews on COVID-19. This info is from an exclusive
interview that @Ami_Magazine has this week with attorney Avi Schick who sued NYS on behalf of @AgudahNews. “We put before the court the various statements that were made targeting the frum (Orthodox) community. The judge then questioned the state’s lawyer about those statements.
He responded with a legalism, which was to say that the court should ignore the governor’s statements and look only at the words in the executive order itself. The state pointed to a fairly recent Supreme Court case called Trump v. Hawaii, in which the Supreme Court said it
would ignore Prez Trump’s statements about immigrants and look only at the executive order being challenged in that case... It was jarring to hear the state’s lawyer publicly comparing Governor Cuomo’s statements regarding Orthodox Jews to Trump’s statements about immigrants.”
