The Issue: The prospect of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s comeback to lead the Big Apple as mayor.
Michael Goodwin is spot-on in his description of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the tragic state of today’s Democratic Party (“Man who helped destroy the city,” March 19).
From the far-left candidates trying to out-radical each other in the mayoral race to the corrupt failure that is Mayor Adams, and now arrogant Cuomo, Democrats are destroying this city and state. Presenting Cuomo as a savior — when he should have been in jail three years ago — is akin to Jack the Ripper being hailed as London’s protector.

Even before the COVID nursing-home debacle that Cuomo brought about, he had already said something that should disqualify him from ever holding public office: He claimed America “was never that great.”
If he isn’t proud of the country he was born and raised in and has no respect for its citizens or the generations that came before us, he should never be allowed to lead or represent us.

How about this: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx break away and become the new state of New Amsterdam, electing King Andrew — the man who destroyed the city — to rule as governor.
It’s a win-win. The city gets what it deserves, Cuomo gets what he wants, Gov. Hochul is ousted, and the rest of New York state can finally rebuild.

Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandals pale in comparison to the unnecessary deaths that resulted from his failed leadership.
This egomaniac even had the audacity to write a book touting his leadership during COVID — profiting millions off a disaster of his own making. How could New Yorkers be fooled again?

Can you imagine if Cuomo becomes mayor while Hochul remains governor, leaving the people of New York City caught in the middle?
As actor William Bendix used to say on his TV show: “What a revolting development this is!”

The Issue: The ongoing contest in authority between the Trump administration and federal judges.
As Miranda Devine outlines in her column regarding activist judges using lawfare to thwart President Trump’s MAGA policies, it’s time for the Supreme Court to stop this travesty (“Trump fights vile judicial push,” March 20).
The people of this nation voted for Trump to implement the policies he promised. The last time I checked the Constitution, the Executive Branch has the power to institute such policies.
We all know the Democrats are backing these judges because it’s their last remaining strategy to stop Trump. Well, the people don’t like it, and SCOTUS must put an end to it.

I am a lifelong Post reader and find myself increasingly dismayed by the recent column from Miranda Devine attacking federal judges.
An independent judiciary is a critical component of the separation of powers outlined in our Constitution. This separation is designed to rein in executive overreach and prevent the legislature from imposing unconstitutional laws.
Everyone with a modicum of sense knows that the judiciary isn’t perfect, but it is certainly not a tool of the president or the “radical left” — one of Devine’s favorite bogeymen for her fearmongering.
