Governor Hochul says she’s looking for the “best candidate” for New York’s new chief judge. In actuality, she will use the choice to help cement Albany Democrats’ one-party rule. The chief judge is a key part of it. It was a ruling of the outgoing chief judge, Janet DiFiore, against the Democrats’ gerrymandering that cost the Democrats control of the House. Don’t expect Ms. Hochul to name another independent-minded jurist to the bench.
