Although there are some laughs, Seth Meyers is deadly serious about explaining the utter unsuitability of Trump's ideological nominees for lifetime federal judicial appointments.
"To put it into perspective, in eight years, Barack Obama did not move forward with a single nominee that was rated as not qualified by the ABA," Meyers said.
"So, naturally, Trump has done the exact opposite. For example, one of Trumps nominees, Justin Walker,was an associate professor who had never tried a case in court.

"And say things like, 'I'm a simple man.' 'No further questions.'
"Unsurprisingly, here's how Walker's hearing went."
"Have you ever presented an argument before a federal jury?"
"Uh, Senator, I have not."

"One last question. How many depositions have you taken?"
"Senator, that was the only deposition I've taken."
"That was the only one?" Meyers said. "How bad do you have to be to do just one?
