In a tweet posted last week, that has since been deleted, Ilya Shapiro, the incoming executive director of the Center for the Constitution and senior lecturer at Georgetown University Law Center, said Biden will be nominating not"the objectively best pick" but a"lesser" Black woman to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer who will be retiring at the end of the current term.
"Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog & v smart. Even has identify politics benefit of being first Asian American. But alas doesn't fit into the latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman.
