Donald Trump’s election to the presidency is opening doors for key Alabamians who could shape the nation’s future. We’ve reported on the likelihood that Senator Jeff Sessions will secure an appointment to the upcoming Administration, and it is also possible that a conservative Alabama native could be called on to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Most Alabamians know William “Bill” Pryor from his service as the state’s Attorney General, having served from 1997-2004.

Patently regarded as a pro-life constitutional conservative, he was nominated by President George W. Bush to serve on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. He was initially installed through a recess appointment, because at the time, Democrats filibustered a Senate confirmation process over Pryor’s belief that Roe v. Wade was the ”worst abomination in the history of constitutional law.” He was eventually confirmed by a vote of 53-45.

As a federal judge, Pryor has upheld voter ID laws (Common Cause/Georgia v. Billups) and argued against ObamaCare’s contraceptive mandate.

It’s Pryor’s proven conservative stances that led President-Elect Donald Trump included the judge among of 21 vetted candidates for the High Court.

“The freedoms we cherish and the constitutional values and principles our country was founded on are in jeopardy,” Trump said upon releasing his list in February. “The responsibility is greater than ever to protect and uphold these freedoms and I will appoint justices, who like Justice Scalia, will protect our liberty with the highest regard for the Constitution.”

Some speculate that Trump could install as many as four Supreme Court justices throughout his time in the White House, presenting the Republican president with the opportunity to sway the court with a conservative majority.
