Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett says his former Harvard Law classmate, Merrick Garland, is “qualified” for the Supreme Court, but that doesn’t mean the Senate should confirm him. Garland, chief judge for the United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, was recently nominated to replace Judge Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama.

“Qualifications aren’t enough,” Barnett says. “What you need is what Joe Biden used to say, you have to look for, and that is judicial philosophy. And that gets us back to originalism. That is what a justice should be–an originalist, first and foremost.” Barnett explains further as he joins host Nick Gillespie in this edition of Reason.TV.
