Longtime Democratic lawyer Richard Ravitch faces a fight as Republicans try to go to court to derail his appointment yesterday to the vacant post of lieutenant governor.
Governor David Paterson suddenly discovered (in his mind) that he has the legal authority to fill the post although the State Constitution is silent on the matter.
It's all part of a scheme to gain control of the Senate which is split 31-31 and use the LTG Ravitch to break ties, presumably in favor of the Dems.
The joke continues.
