Is a recess appointment to the Court an option? (UPDATED)

UPDATED Sunday 8:48 a.m.
The Senate is currently in recess until February 22. The recess began on Friday. Whether this opens an opportunity for a recess appointment depends upon how Senate leaders interpret an adjournment resolution approved last Friday. That will determine whether it will meet for brief activity during the recess, which could close that opportunity.

If they are smart (and they aren’t known as the stupid party for nothing, LOL!), they will have 2-3 Senators go conduct Senate business every day from now on, so that he can’t do any recess appointments.

You also have to wonder, if obama would be brazen enough to appoint someone tomorrow or the next day, because the Senate is in recess currently?? He would win over the media by saying the GOP pledged to block any nominee of his, so he would justify it based on that. Liberals and media would carry this message of GOP obstruction.

The recess BEGAN on Friday and Scalia died on Saturday?
