Seth Meyers takes a closer look at the drama surrounding the selection of Justice Scalia's successor
Seth Meyers is back with another informative "Closer Look," this time going into detail over the death of Antonin Scalia and the fight to replace him on the Supreme Court. Anyone with even cursory knowledge of the way Washington works these days knows that it's going to be a battle between President Obama and the Republicans over who will fill Scalia's robe, and Meyers points out that if the nomination ultimately comes after Obama's term is over, we could be faced with President Trump appointing his buddy from The Apprentice, Supreme Court Justice Gary Busey. "We can't do that right now," a wide-eyed Meyers says. "We're not in a place where we can do that." Of course, if Hillary Clinton becomes president, she might even appoint Obama himself, which Meyers thinks would be worth it "just to see Ted Cruz's head explode." Watch the video below.
