she appoints -- she nominates to the highest court hector was saul, many progressives are -- tetra lasalleprogressives are against this because he is a tight choice. >> i have to say the sound and the fury with the emergence of lasalle's nomination shows what happens when two of the most enormously powerful underpinnings of the democratic party's power get together, right, labor unions on the one hand opposing lasalle's stance against rulings and abortion rights? i wish we saw more collaboration, and i think we will, between those two extremely powerful movements. the reason why the sound is deep concern, the other day, more than 100 experts and advocates and organizations that support abortion rights sign onto a letter opposing his nomination is because of a ruling in favor of crisis pregnancy centers. these are antiabortion centers that often pose as abortion clinics that try to look edible clinics. when the attorney general eric schneiderman try to investigate several years ago, he was stymied by a ruling that lasalle had signed on to. that is of tremendous concern, especially because t

lasalle's backers included house minority leader hakeem jeffries. microsoft announced plans wednesday to lay off 10,000 workers in the largest round of job cuts at the software giant since 2014. this builds on approximately 120,000 job cuts over the past year at high-tech firms, including twitter, meta, salesforce. meanwhile, amazon said wednesday it will lay off 2300 workerin seattle and bellevue, washington -- part of a plan to slash amazon's corporate workforce by 18,000. this comes after the u.s. occupational safety and health administration, osha, cited amazon with failing to protect workers at three warehouses against ergonomic hazards, putting them at risk for musculoskeletal disorders and lower back injuries. a warning to our audience, this next story contains graphic images and descriptions of police violence. in indiana, lawyers for the family of hermann whitfield iii have released body camera videos from the night whitfield was killed in his parents' home by indianapolis police officers. whitfield was an award-winning piano virtuoso who w

to fill the opening for chief judge of new york, the new york state court of appeals with hector lasallet these corporations and suing ion leaders? >> i mean,hat the back story is is about seven or eight years ago, the communication workers and cablevision were locked in a huge dispute over a first contract for a group of about 200 workers. cablevision was so mad at the union for organizing their workers that they actually decided to sue labor leaders. judge lasalle was part that voted for that a case to go forward, which is dangerous for a host of reasons but in particular, is this idea that you can take labor relations away from the national labor relations board, which is a sacrosanct tenet of u.s. labor relation policy for the last 85 years. and something that i think you would see more from a rand paul-style judge than from a democratic judge in new york state or a democratic-aligned judge in new york state. so it is interesting that governor hochul is making this nomination at this time. it is also interesting she pushed the union and the hospitals to go to binding arbitration. typ

who is this judge, hector lasalle?at they floated the wishes of their newly elected democratic governor in order to publicly doubt his appointment. some context, last summer, chief judge janet duffy airy unexpectedly announced she would be stepping down from new york's court of appeals. she had led a narrow conservative majority over the court, a majority that nearly rejected the new york democratic redistricting plans that many would argue cost the democrats a lot of seats in that state in the midterms. liberals were rather gobsmacked, who would not only preserve the conservative balance of power, but would take his history of anti union, anti-choice, anti-police reform with him to the highest court in the state. just look at his reaction -- first off, unions. there is the ruling in the 2015 case, communications work as of america, which would significantly expand corporations power to harass individual union leaders. issue is raised at lasalle's state senate. >> you stated that perhaps this case had been chosen to de

justice hector lasalle was nominated, as i said, by kathy hochul.ident or a republican president have his chief justice nominee rejkted by the same party that is in control in congress. it's a big deal that democrats are fighting amongst each other over this. there was significant opposition to hector lasalle going into yesterday's hearing, where he was voted against. and labor groups, progressive democrats, even some moderate democrats made it clear to the governor they were not going to support her nomination. and that is where this failure of sort of flikts 101 comes in. if you don't have the votes, don't send it up for a vote. but that is exactly what she did. she pulled ahead and asked about what she plans to do now. here's what she had to say just a short while ago. >> we have a chance to see also what shapes his decisions based on his many years of experience running the largest appellate court in the country. so i thought he did an extraordinary job and we're certainly looking at all of our options. >> reporter: now, all of her options could
