And just like that… lefty actress Cynthia Nixon will get to screen and recommend candidates to serve on the state’s highest court, The Post has learned.
Nixon — who isn’t a lawyer but played one on the hit HBO show “Sex and the City” — was just appointed to serve on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson.
The commission suggests and vets potential judges to the Court of Appeals. Nixon’s appointment runs through April 30, 2030.
Most of the other dozen members of the panel are practicing lawyers or have law degrees.
“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.
Sources in the legal community were stunned and outraged by the appointment of the actress, who ran for governor in 2018 and endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor last year.
“She’s an actress! She’s known for ‘Sex and the City,'” fumed one lawyer who was flabbergasted by the pick.
Her biography on the commission website says, “Cynthia Nixon is a native New Yorker who began acting professionally at the age of 12 and has worked as an actor and director for nearly 50 years. Over the course of her career, she has won two Primetime Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, and a Grammy Award for her reading of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.”
While best known for playing attorney Miranda Hobbes in “Sex and the City,” the bio noted Nixon has played roles as varied as Emily Dickinson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan.
Over the years, she has been an advocate for public school funding and has supported other social causes.

Yet another nail in New York’s coffin. :(
Well it’s official, there is a plan by lefties to completely control ny without any say so from voters.
They think they have found a way to do it.
Oh, wait. Hank Hill is a white male. Never mind.
Why? Just, why?
Should have picked Cynthia Rothrock , at least she’s a better actress
I’m not sure how you could find a better official New York judge shopper than a slut from “Sex In The City.”

Inspector Clouseau: "Ah, now we are finally getting somewhere."
And people said when the list of primary candidates was announced: "Don't worry. The long time political pros with their large financial backing and name recognition will be there at the end, not the controversial Mamdani. He is more of a symbol than a serious mayoral contender."
I’m surprised they didn’t pick E. Jeanne Carroll.
Let’s not give them any ideas now.

The important question is: what are the names of the faceless individuals who will instruct her which candidates to recommend.
So her qualifications include that she isn’t a lawyer-but she played one on TV-did she also stay at a Holiday Inn last night? Will the last sane person to leave NY please remember to turn off the lights...
The world of fake picking fake judges , that’s the left
Will the NY City Mayor help?
Not unless his boy, Bobby is now Bobbie.
Bravo! New York needs more unqualified communist girl bosses.
