Today a judge ordered (again) that the former BK Dems chair and her allies need to respect the courts and stop the charade of operating under rules that were repeatedly struck down.
He also ordered they can't keep spending party funds to drag out their losing legal fight.

Attorneys for Julio Pena have filed oppo. to Lucas/Rodneyse's motions to intervene and remove Chair Velazquez's lawyers
Main arg is if the Oct 4 event wasn't an exec cmte meeting, Nikki Lucas wasn't elected, and if it was, it violated the TRO
Everyones back in court today at 10

Court has signed Abrams Fensterman's OSC asking to enjoin Chair Velazquez and her attorneys from interfering with their appeal, hearing set for Tue, same as the disqual hearing
No TRO granted, and Jsc. Sweeney took the extra step of clarifying there is no TRO in a separate order

The legal battle over who, exactly, is in charge of the Brooklyn Democratic Party cannot continue until a judge decides which lawyers are authorized to represent the party in court: brooklynpaper.com/brooklyn-d…

Please read the next paragraph, @AMBichotte. The critical language of the TRO is in effect "pending the hearing and determination" of the OSC.
The hearing was today, but there has not yet been a determination.

Kings County Dem hearing beginning. Starting with Nydia's lawyers raising the issue of who represents Chair Velazquez and the Committee
Is it the lawyers she has repeatedly stated represent her, or Genovesi of Abrams Fensterman?

Contempt hearing scheduled for Oct 19th, pending service of those named
An OSC for contempt has been filed against @AMBichotte and the other Exec Committee members who met last night, in apparent contravention of the Court's Sep 29 TRO

One of the AF filings in the @bkdems lawsuit repeatedly cites "Remedies for Unauthorized Injunction Consent by County Committee Chairwoman in New York"
I am unable to locate this source, is this an AI drafting artifact?

It is crazy though that they are purporting to represent Velasquez in any capacity after she has has fired them and told them six different ways to keep her name out of their mouth. Above and beyond everything else, that seems like a great way to get bar sanctions.

Here’s the letter and cease and desist that lawyers for the reformer bloc sent to the Brooklyn Democratic Party’s executive committee.
It warns party members that they will seek a contempt order against anyone who attends and votes in tonight’s meeting for a new chair.
BrandonWC retweeted
The court agreed that @NydiaVelazquez has been the Chair of @bkdems since the Sep 23rd meeting and the Chair of the Exec Cmte has been vacant since that time
Nydia therefore has authority over both the County Cmte and Exec Cmte until a new Chair is elected
The new @bkdems Chair @NydiaVelazquez wants to be very clear that Genovesi of Abrams Fensterman does NOT represent her or the party, in the emergency stay of yesterday's exec committee meeting

Rep. Nydia Velázquez, who was accidentally elected chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party’s county committee last week due to a party leadership error, has words for lawyers representing Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and the county org in court: “you don’t represent me!”
BrandonWC retweeted
In the latest twist in the battle to lead Brooklyn Dems, reformers seeking to oust Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn just scored a win
The appellate court reversed an earlier stay on a Supreme Court order, and threw out controversial rules pushed by Rodneyse to help her remain in power

Oral argument for @newkingsdems lawsuit against @bkdems
Court: Are you suggesting that anyone previously elected can vote in perpetuity? As long as they were elected in a prior election they can continue to vote?
Hearing a lot of skepticism of the defendants arguments

Breaking: A judge just struck down the Brooklyn Democratic Party chair’s attempt to maintain power through a dramatic rewriting of party rules.
