I have given you the experts. You can actually find a guide to the House rules and procedures on the internet. Probably Senate, too. You look like an uninformed idiot. But carry on

Have you calmed down, or are you still insisting that I agree with your illogical argument?

Please take a look at the Federalist Society opinion, certainly a better source of your ranting, and of anything I might say as well.

http://thefederalist.com/2016/02/16/can-senate-democrats-force-a-vote-on-obamas-supreme-court-nominee/

The key excerpt:

Although some analysts have floated the idea of a recess appointment to the Supreme Court, that is not a tenable option given the Supreme Court’s unanimous 2014 opinion restricting the ability of the president to use brief congressional recesses to bypass the Senate’s constitutional duty to advise and consent before an appointment becomes official. In NLRB v. Noel Canning, the Supreme Court stated it would not look favorably upon any recess appointments that occurred when the Senate had not been formally recessed for at least 10 days, excluding Sundays (the current Senate recess will not last 10 days given the Sunday exclusion noted by the Supreme Court). As a result of that court opinion, congressional Republicans have studiously avoided any recesses that would exceed that 10-day window. Barring some sort of catastrophic error by the parliamentarians advising the Senate majority, a 2016 recess appointment is simply not a viable option.

Shouting into to anonymous internet and demanding that anyone listening agree with you is a futile exercise. Especially when you are arguably wrong. My comments are posted in the support of a free society governed by a limited Federal Administration. What's your objective?
