If Bush were to recess appoint Bork, as I understand it, the recess appointment would become permanent if the Senate doesn't vote it down within a certain number of months. This is an easy way to bust filibusters. But well, it wouldn't lead to so much discovery of who the jerks are in the senate. [Sigh]

US Constitution, Article II, Section 2 - recession commissions shall expire at the end of their (Senate's) next session.
