Those men are the Governor, the Assembly Speaker, and the Senate President. (Two Democrats and a Republican, usually.) Whatever they decide will be rubber-stamped by the Legislature. Now two of those three are on their way to jail.

These are the men who were instrumental in the passage of the New York SAFE Act. Ask me how it feels that my rights have been abrogated by felons.
