You may think that most civil rights groups would want President Obama to nominate a Supreme Court justice in the mold of Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer. But the American Association of People with Disabilities isn't one of them.

The Supreme Court has narrowed the scope of the landmark 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act in several decisions, and both Ginsburg and Breyer joined in unanimous rulings on United States v. Georgia in 2006 and Toyota Motor Manufacturing v. Williams in 2002.

In an interview last week, Andrew Imparato, president and CEO of AAPD, said he disagreed with Obama's campaign-trail characterization of Ginsburg and Breyer as model justices. "My hope is that they can stretch beyond Ginsburg and Breyer and really try to get somebody who is more like a [William] Brennan or Thurgood Marshall, who can be a strong voice for civil rights across the board. Even if it's a lone dissenting voice, I think it's a really important role, and I don't feel like we have that right now on the court."

Imparato says the next court pick is a top priority for his organization, and AAPD will be pushing hard for a Supreme Court nominee who strongly supports disability rights.
