The Jan. 6 bill is the one of several items on the Senate’s agenda over a crucial summer period that could spark deep tensions over the 60-vote legislative filibuster and build pressure for Democrats to unify behind nixing it.

ALBANY - New York could soon have two new judges on its highest court.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday nominated Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas and New York City Judge Anthony Tony Cannataro to fill two vacant seats on the state Court of Appeals.
Singas would succeed Judge Leslie Stein, who is retiring in June, and Cannataro would replace Judge Paul Feinman, who died last March.
Since taking office in 2011, the Democratic governor has named all seven judges on the Court of Appeals, which hears cases in Albany.
His latest picks will now go to the Democrat-led Senate for confirmation before the legislative session ends in early June.
