I don’t think anyone has ever made a recess appointment to the Supreme Court. Has anyone ever made one to a lesser court?
Apparently Obama already has a nominee “on deck”. He is an Indian-Asian, (and muslim I’ll bet) His name is Sri Srinavasan.
The GOP should already be doing oppo research on him.
..I don’t think anyone has ever made a recess appointment to the Supreme Court. Has anyone ever made one to a lesser court?...
The SCOTUS ruling in the NLRB case applies to all recess appointments including nudges and to SCOTUS. Zer0 is already floating names of appointees. But, McConnell can hold it up if he has the stones to do so. Questionable. He has sold out the USA previously.
He said tonite that the next SCOTUS appointment should be made by the next President. But notice he didn’t say it MUST BE MADE by the next President, a big difference.

It has been done before and then the Senate will need to confirm....
But the senate will not be in recess to allow Obama to make a recess appointment unless McConnell caves....
Scotus has already ruled inter-session or intra-session of the senate are not in recess..
