A quick question for all. Can Obama make a recess appointment to the US Supreme Court?

I don’t in any way want this to happen, but you can never trust the Socialist in our current administration.

No recess appointments allowed unless the Senate is in a substantial recess: Not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a holiday but substantial. So SCOTUS has ruled during Obozo’s regime. To avoid misunderstanding, McConnell need only to delegate to junior members of the Republican caucus the obligation to show up each day for a pro forma session: Call the Senate to order; note the absence of a quorum; move to adjourn to the next day; adjourn to the next day. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
