Hellerstein has ruled against President Donald Trump or his administration in other high-profile cases, including the charges involving alleged hush money payments to pornstar Stormy Daniels. Hellerstein twice rejected Trump’s bids to move the case to federal court.

Just two months ago, an appeals court overturned one of those rulings.

Hellerstein also issued a sweeping order last May blocking the Trump administration from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act with little, if any, due process. The ruling essentially halted such deportations in the Southern District of New York, where the judge sits.

Maybe he's afraid to let Trump appoint his replacement?

If he's 92 now, he would have been in his late 80's and into his early 90's under the Biden administration and should have retired then.

So then the answer is the power one. Just like RBG who's ego got in the way and ensured that any slightly good thing she did would be completely undone or overshadowed by her inability to step down in time

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
