“Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon has been appointed to screen New York judges despite having no legal training or experience whatsoever.
The leftist activist and failed gubernatorial candidate was just appointed to serve on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson, as the New York Post first reported.
“The Commission’s mandate is a powerful one: the Constitution requires that the Governor choose Judges of the Court of Appeals only from the nominees of the Commission,” the panel’s website says.
Nixon, who is a fervent supporter of “trans rights” and other radical leftist causes, ran for governor in 2018 and endorsed democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor last year. Her appointment to the commission is seen as yet another negative consequence of Mamdani’s win.
“This is part of the damage [Mamdani] will do to NYC. Long after he’s gone the effects of the leftist lunatics will continue because they will be [embedded] in public offices. F*ck everyone who voted for this snake,” one X commenter wrote.
Nixon describes herself as “the mother of a proud trans man” and has spoken publicly about the issue.
“My wife and I, our lives are filled with the most amazing, beautiful, brave trans people, young and old… but especially young,” the actress said at one New York rally last year. “My trans kid had his top surgery at NYU a number of years ago,” she continued. “…the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they could receive the highest care and that place has now been shut to them, sickens me. Sickens me to my core.”
Nixon described President Trump’s inauguration and subsequent executive order to protect children from irreversible gender procedures as “horrific” and “an assault.”
In the past, the “SATC” star has also denounced anti-shoplifting laws and has referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a “terrorist organization” all the way back in 2018.
Former prosecutor Saritha Komatireddy told the Post that Nixon’s appointment proves that things are going downhill in New York. “Appointing a celebrity activist with zero legal background to help shape the future of our judiciary sends the wrong message entirely,” she told the outlet.
“This is part of a broader trend in New York: politics increasingly taking precedence over public safety and common sense,” Komatireddy added. “At a deeply critical time when New Yorkers are demanding safer streets and greater confidence in our institutions, our leaders should be focused on restoring trust in the justice system and not turning judicial appointments into a political game.”
