Sullivan Statement on Nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) released the following statement today after President Trump announced he has nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court:

“President Trump, in nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch, has selected a highly credentialed jurist with the temperament and distinguished career fitting of a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Confirmed by the U.S. Senate on a voice vote to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006, Judge Gorsuch is well within the mainstream of American judicial philosophy and has demonstrated the judgment necessary to garner the support of Republicans and Democrats alike. Judge Gorsuch’s record reflects Justice Scalia’s legacy of textualism and an ardent respect for the Constitution and rule of law. He is poised to make an excellent addition to the Supreme Court.”
