It is truly wild how impactful the Brooklyn Democratic machine has been over the entire state's political landscape and history. The leaders and participants of this machine were a large focus of the State's Investigatory Commission work during the 60s and 70s. People like Abe Beame and Bunny Lindenbaum played major roles in Trump's rise to power. Most of my cases have been in Brooklyn Supreme Court (the trial court) and there is a lawyer's lounge (a decrepit room with a table) where the Democratic machinery is in full force, at least when it comes to the judiciary. Needless to say, I have become quite disillusioned with the justice system.
It's noteworthy that this same political machine has control of the leadership of both Assembly and Senate in Albany, and that they are gerrymandered in so tight that the local red wave in the last election didn't make a dent in their supermajority. The Congressional map was drawn by a special master, and guess what? Some Republicans won! Accountability! Imagine that!
