Nah, I think the real fun will be when one of the die hard libs retires, since that will shift the balance of power from 5-4 to 6-3.

Replacing the judge is more important than naming the Chief Justice, although you can do both at once.

Can a recess appointment be made?
Interesting question. I wonder if there's ever been a recess appointment of a SCOTUS justice.

Presumably, it would not be Gonzales in that he has been attorney general but for five months. But again, it would not surprise me at all if the choice is the "moderate" Gonzales.

Your disdain is duly noted.
Again.
And since, as usual, you don't have anything of value to add, try not to muddy up the thread.

Lord knows, Frist has no [fill in blank] to support a Dubya nominee.Heck, Dubya doesn't even support his OWN appointees!

Wonder if this insider information had anything to do with Frist changing his tune on Bolton after his meeting with Dubya today.
To: Dog Gone
Doesn't the chief justice set the agenda for hearing the cases??

Recess appointment Bork and watch DU stew!

I would love to see The President nominate Scalia or Thomas to the Chief Justice position and maybe Judge Janice Rogers Brown to the Supremes. After all, the Senate just voted to confirm her, so what could possibly be the problem?

I agree. Scalia or Thomas will probably get promoted, and someone else will be nominated to take their former place as associate justice.
