The unprecedented move by the recently expanded Senate committee followed a bitter public battle over LaSalle’s judicial record as progressive lawmakers, union leaders and other advocates vocally opposed his appointment and painted him as too conservative to lead the state’s sprawling judiciary.

Holder is the highest-profile Dem to come out in support of the Senate after Hochul enlisted the likes of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and other top party members to rally around LaSalle ahead of the committee vote.

Former chief judge Jonathan Lippman is among those supporters who think LaSalle didn’t get a fair shake and said two weeks ago he believes a full floor vote will take place “one way or another.”

LaSalle, who would have been the first Latino chief judge in New York and currently serves as the presiding justice of the 2nd Appellate Division in Brooklyn, faced fierce pushback from a wide range of opponents who argued the former prosecutor’s judicial records showed him to be anti-union, anti-reproductive rights and overall too conservative for the post.

"Their whole brain development is, I don't know how to regulate my emotions and no one else does. And so I'm just gonna keep to myself to stay out of the way." In adulthood, these people suppress or hide their feelings , "and really believe that they have to do their emotions alone," she said. So although they look like it's all fine on the outside, internally, "there's tremendous struggle." How to break the cycle Marko Geber/Getty Images
