From CNYCentral.com:
Lawyers for Gov. David Paterson are due back in court to defend last week’s appointment of Richard Ravitch as New York’s lieutenant governor.
The appointment was a bid to break a leadership deadlock in the state Senate.
The move appeared to succeed. Rebel Democratic Sen. Pedro Espada dropped a month-long affiliation with Senate Republicans and returned to his party.
That ended a month-long stalemate in the statehouse. But it set off the court fight over Ravitch’s appointment.
