Does anyone else remember when picking our top judges was a serious business? Apparently not in New York anymore. Thanks to the latest genius decision out of blue-state central, Cynthia Nixon—the same woman most people know from playing a lawyer on cable TV—now gets to help handpick judges for the state’s highest court. Yes, really. Your barista probably has more courtroom experience, but she didn’t star in “Sex and the City,” so maybe that’s why she got skipped for the gig.
This is what happens when you let leftist elites with a Hollywood crush run the show. A working justice system isn’t nearly as important to them as signaling virtue or rewarding each other for holding all the “correct” globalist views. New York’s chief judge seems to think playing make-believe on television qualifies someone for vetting lifetime legal appointments. Is there any clearer sign of just how broken this system is? If you’ve wondered why crime is up and faith in the courts is down, look no further.
Let’s get real—Cynthia Nixon’s credentials stop at the script. She’s not a lawyer. She’s never had to argue a case. But she sure knows how to campaign for radical candidates and pose for woke photo ops. Remember when she tried to run for governor and ended up embarrassing herself? Of course, in the upside-down world of New York politics, that makes her a shoo-in for another political favor. The people who actually devote their lives to studying the law are left scratching their heads.
Where is the outcry from legal professionals? Many are privately outraged by this circus act, but liberals in positions of power couldn’t care less. They want the headlines and applause from activist friends. All the while, public safety and confidence in the system spiral. Don’t be surprised if courtrooms start to look more like a Hollywood set than a place where real justice happens.
This is pure leftist incompetence on parade. The “Mandani era” wants to burn down every last standard, all in the name of progress. What’s next—letting failed actors from California write the Constitution? Maybe just pick our Supreme Court justices from TikTok stars. Welcome to New York’s new strategy: fantasy over facts, woke points over wisdom. Is this the America you want to live in?
