Letters to the Editor

Letter: The real Sullivan

On March 16, 2016, Sen. Dan Sullivan issued the following statement after President Barack Obama announced he had nominated Merrick Garland to the United States Supreme Court:

“The President has the constitutional authority to nominate and the U.S. Senate has the authority to advise and consent. The decision to withhold advancement of Mr. Garland’s nomination isn’t about the individual, it’s about the principle. Alaskans, like all Americans, are in the midst of an important national election. The next Supreme Court justice could fundamentally change the direction of the Court for years to come. Alaskans deserve to have a voice in that direction through their vote, and we will ensure that they have one.”

Who is the real Mr. Sullivan? Who is the real man? Alaskans can’t wait to see. I know I can’t.
