Alabamans will have to enlighten us about the first names showing up in consideration to be appointed to replace Sessions:

US Representative Martha Roby, AL Attorney General Luther Strange, State Senator Trip Pittman, State Senator Cam Ward.

[Micro aggressor]

Martha Roby should not be considered... she's a RINO who did not vote for Trump.

I haven't heard much about Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange or State Senators Pittman and Ward, but I believe they are all probably solid conservatives.

I would personally like to see Rep. Mo Brooks of Huntsville get the appointment, but Governor Bentley is also a RINO who endorsed Kasich in the primaries and who said he would not vote for Trump in the election.

I expect he will appoint a milquetoast Republican to the seat; however, a special election must be held to fill the seat within 60 days of the vacancy.
