My top 6 list of candidates to replace Kennedy

LINK

1. Roy Moore
This is one of Moore’s more mainstream beliefs. Moore has called homosexuality an “abomination,” claimed evolution has “distorted our way of thinking” while calling for creationism to be taught in schools, and railed against Muslims, stating, “They didn’t bring the Quran over on the Pilgrim ship, the Mayflower.”
2. Tom Parker
Tom Parker has spent the last few years giving Moore a run for his money by, among other things, comparing the judge who overturned Don’t Ask Don’t Tell to Al-Qaeda. “Most people believe that Al-Qaeda is one of America’s biggest security threats,” Parker said in a campaign ad. “I think it’s time to add liberal activist judges like Judge Phillips to that list.”

Frequently spotted with conservative hate group leaders, Parker also entertains doubts about President Barack Obama’s country of origin. While ruling against a challenge to Obama’s appearance on the Alabama ballot in 2008 (not because he thought the challenge ridiculous, but simply because he believed the Alabama court a poor venue for the charge) Parker dissented from the majority, saying the information presented was “sufficient to raise a duty to investigate the qualifications of President Barack Hussein Obama before including him as a candidate on Alabama's election ballot."

Most frighteningly, Parker is a major figure in the so-called personhood movement. He has ruled continuously that unborn children count as persons under the Alabama constitution, the main rhetorical maneuver by which the personhood movement seeks to undermine Roe v. Wade.
3. Priscilla Owen
Priscilla Owen fulfilled all manner of conservative dreams when she and two other female justices reversed a lower court’s ruling and upheld a Texas law that shuttered a third of its abortion clinics.
4. Janice Rodgers Brown
California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rodgers Brown was the only dissenting vote when the California judiciary upheld a proto-ACA-style mandate on employer-provided insurance. That turned out to be Brown’s rehearsal: nine years later she was one of the two deciding votes on the DC Circuit to rule that business owners could opt out of contraception provisions based on religious objections, an early run for the Hobby Lobby case which enshrined that into law.
5. Gary Kreep
Gary Kreep, a conservative activist who challenged Obama’s citizenship, was elected to California Superior Court in San Diego in 2012. He is also known to the Southern Poverty Law Center as the founder of the United States Justice Foundation, an anti-Muslim group that warns against creeping Sharia law. Before he took the bench, the San Diego Bar association publicly called Kreep unqualified; he in turn called them bigoted against Christians.
6. William Pryor
William Pryor, a social conservative who’s risen quickly in the judicial ranks despite his wild-west defense of the state of Alabama's practice of handcuffing prisoners to a hitching post.
