Sullivan Statement on Justice Kennedy’s Retirement from Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) issued the following statement after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement effective July 31, 2018:
“I would like to thank Justice Kennedy for his years of service to our nation and for his unwavering commitment to civility. I wish him and his family the very best in their future endeavors. Going forward, the President has the opportunity to nominate a justice who believes in textualism as it relates to interpreting the Constitution and statutes, and who understands the importance of federalism and the separation of powers as critical components of safeguarding liberty in our Constitutional order. I look forward to a rigorous nomination process in the Senate and I am hopeful that we can use the now-cancelled August recess to hold hearings to nominate our next Supreme Court Justice.”
