Do most Americans recognize the name Judy Schienlin? … I did not.
If I asked who was the highest paid woman on television, my guess would be that the vast majority would not know that answer either.
The answer to both of the above questions is … Judge Judy.
Just about everybody knows who Judge Judy is. She was a real judge who transitioned to a TV judge, and was known for her no-nonsense approach and tough legal advice. Although I pay zero attention to what Hollywood movie stars say, I would pay attention to what Judge Judy had to say.
Unbeknownst to me Judy Schienlin lives in Manhattan, and does indeed have opinions on what is happening in NYC.
From the Daily Caller:
Television star Judge Judy Sheindlin on Friday, 6/21 harshly criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for prosecuting former President Donald Trump over what she considers “nonsense.
Sheindlin told host Chris Wallace in an episode of Max’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” that Bragg should be focused on prosecuting criminals who make New York unsafe rather than the former president, who she said the district attorney targeted for personal reasons.
“I would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney of New York County would take care of criminals who were making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway, to use his efforts to keep those people off the street, than to spend $5 million or $10 million of taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense,” Sheindlin said. “That’s my view. But I, as a taxpayer in this country, resent using the system for your own personal self-aggrandizement.”
[As an aside, I do not think I have ever heard either a judge or a TV-star use a 14 letter word correctly in a sentence, but Judge Judy just did!]
Just like on her TV show her opinion is well respected, and she did not hold back on this issue. Her no-nonsense approach hasn’t disappeared! Judge Judy is right on target concerning D.A. Alvin Bragg.
