‘Suddenly, it’s about race, and it’s about qualifications’

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that a black woman who graduated from Harvard and Harvard Law School, despite encountering what she deemed “institutional racism,” was overqualified for the Supreme Court while discussing the replacement for retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.

Hostin said, “Now it’s predictably become a debate about qualifications. Suddenly, it’s about race, and it’s about qualifications. I was reading yesterday there’s an incoming Georgetown Law professor, Ilya Shapiro, who tweeted that the best pick for Biden is this Asian American judge who is solid and very smart. ‘Even has identity politics benefit of being the first Asian Indian American. But alas doesn’t fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy, so we’ll get a lesser black woman — we’ll get a lesser black woman — Thank heaven for small favors.’ So the implication suddenly is there can’t be a black woman that is qualified.”
