President Obama will discuss his nominee for the Supreme Court with BuzzFeed News Legal Editor Chris Geidner in a live interview from the White House on Monday.
Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the nation’s highest court after Justice Antonin Scalia died in February. Top Republicans have said they would not consider any nominee and maintain that they will not hold hearings or a vote for Garland — not necessarily because of his positions, but because, they say, the next president should decide who is nominated.
The interview begins at 2:50 p.m. — you can watch it on Facebook Live and on BuzzFeed Video’s YouTube page. We’ll also stream it right here and update this post with what Obama says!
