The article, “Judge in Legal Row With Brooklyn Democrats Kicked Off Party Ticket” (NYLJ, Sept. 23), does not mention several salient points relevant to the complaint against the Brooklyn party filed by Justice Laura Jacobson, who is the judge referred to in the article’s headline.
The gist of Jacobson’s complaint in Jacobson v. Kings County Democratic County Committee, 16-cv-4809 is that powerful interests within the Brooklyn Democratic Party manipulated the party’s screening process to disqualify her for renomination for a second term. Under party rules, no candidate can be nominated for a judgeship unless they have secured a qualified rating from the party’s 25-member screening panel.
