Getting closer to FO time?

Unless there's something different about the way the 3 branches interact in NY-then all three branches are co-equal. But the courts are supposed to obey the existing law. If the legislature missteps, it is well within the court's power to strike it down. They are not supposed to be a rubber stamp for the governor and legislature.

Getting old, what does this mean?

The plaintiff challenged the method used to enact the SAFE act as well as its contents.

NY is saying that the use of this method is not subject to review (and there appears to be NY SC precedent for this). The contents of the law are still subject.

I love the way one person's criminal act can give license to the gov't to diminish our rights. If this were really an equal relationship, every time the Gov't made a mistake (like say lying to the American Public, killing US citizens w/o due process, failing to protect us on 9/11) the PEOPLE could make a power grab. But, power only moves in one direction. what I wouldn't give for 20 Charles Lindbergs (sp?) right about now.
