On Thursday, The Daily Beast reported that a newly appointed Georgetown Law School executive and former right-wing think tank director is in hot water after a pair of tweets disparaging President Joe Biden's pledge to appoint a Black woman to fill the Supreme Court seat of outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer.

"Former Cato Institute director Ilya Shapiro, now executive director of Georgetown’s Center for the Constitution, wrote, 'Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog and [very] smart. Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American. But alas doesn’t fit into last intersectionality hierarchy so we’ll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors?'" reported Blake Montgomery. "In a second tweet, Shapiro added, 'Because Biden said he’s only consider [sic] black women for SCOTUS, his nominee will always have an asterisk attached. Fitting that the Court takes up affirmative action next term.'"

According to the report, Shapiro has now deleted both tweets and called them "inartful," while Georgetown Law Dean William Treanor denounced the comments as "demeaning," "appalling," and "at odds with everything we stand for at Georgetown Law" in an email.

1. Cato Institute

That's all you need to know about him. Libertarian think tank. If one can claim that libertarians think.

13. The Kochs are moving radicalized activists into trusted institutions.

What makes higher education a worthwhile investment for the Kochs, who are known for bankrolling conservative causes and Republican campaign vehicles? Essentially, to inculcate the next generation with a philosophy like their own: As we’ve reported throughout this decade, education grants from the Koch brothers’ network of foundations routinely support academic programs or centers that teach theories and principles aligned with the Kochs’ convictions about economics and public policy.

At the annual Koch confab in Dana Point, California, in 2014, a top lieutenant of Charles and David Koch told a crowd of supporters that political success begins with reaching young minds in college lecture halls, thereby preparing bright, libertarian-leaning students to one day occupy the halls of political power.

“The [Koch] network is fully integrated, so it’s not just work at the universities with the students, but it’s also building state-based capabilities and election capabilities and integrating this talent pipeline,” Kevin Gentry said at the event. “So you can see how this is useful to each other over time,” he continued. “No one else has this infrastructure. We’re very excited about doing it.”

6. It's the cowardice that gets me PO'd

WTF, the racist POS deleting his own posts on the first hint of controversy. Why not let folks see what your true beliefs are?

8. Don't worry, The Internet is forever.

These folks never learn, do they.

[Retrograde]

10. Compared to such stellar choices

such as Kavanaugh, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Barrett? Translation of his remarks: they're afraid Biden will pick someone so squeaky clean, qualified, and competent that they'll look like idiots for opposing her.

[ecstatic]

11. +1000. nt

[Hekate]

14. Bingo

[tclambert]

12. Lesser than Kavanaugh?

[tenderfoot]

15. Former Cato Institute director

That's all you need to know.

16. It's amazing these morons can't stay off social media

There are examples from both sides but it seems to overwhelmingly be idiots on the right “canceling” themselves.

18. Racist is trying to block an unnamed black woman from a position that never had one

how does he know if Biden's hypothetical pick is "lesser" than anyone. I'm Indian-American and would love to have Sri Srinivasan chosen but I would also love to have a black woman.

How about we let our president choose his appointee instead of some opinionated douchebag from Cato.

19. So, Here Is An Example Of A "Lesser Black Woman"?

Being stupid is not inartful. It is being stupid.

20. "inartful," "demeaning," and "appalling" are misleading descriptors...

...for Tweets that are clearly vile and racist.

21. Inartful?

The pathetic, racist and misogynistic whining of an entitled brat would be more accurate. With his retarded level emotional maturity, how could Shapiro possibly be any kind of an effective leader? Georgetown has quite a loser on their hands.

Bobby Jindal who wanted to be white bread so badly that he dumped his Indian name to sound more white.
