There's the recess appointment.

I put the odds of a recess appointment at 0. On something as important as a SC seat, and given the level of opposition, it would be seen as an irresponsible, ego-driven move that could well doom Republicans in '06 and '08.

I agree that it won't happen.

I was commenting on the statement that "the Senate gets to decide."

That is not necessarily so because of the recess appointment.

recess....

(Unless she's officially turned down. At that point, I don't think a recess appointment can be made.)
