So much for a conservative SCOTUS appointment in the last two years. I doubt the dem senate would allow any SCOTUS nominee for that manner, unless Bush gets someone from the ACLU.

There's a VERY easy answer for this. It's called "recess appointment", and YES, it has been done with U.S. Supreme Court justices in the past. The most prominent was none other than Earl Warren, recess-appointed by Eisenhower.

I don't think Dubya has the inclination or guts to do this, of course.

Maybe he'll re-nominate Harriet Miers (HOWLS of laughter). She'll make it this time!

Isn't a recess appointment only good for a limited time though?
