I think Eisenhower made the recess appointment and followed it immediately with a nomination after being reelected - two separate acts. Eisenhower wanted Brennan already on the Court when he campaigned in the northeast.

Eisenhower had the benefit of knowing he would be re-elected to do this. Curious- did Brennan get sworn in and serve in the recess period before being re-elected— how could he have been if he had not been approved by the Senate as “nominated”. Interesting.

Very different (and have noted the WAVE of Wash Post articles justifying the BS “you must approve obamaumao’s nomination— it’s your duty, even in an election year, because it’s been done before— argument)situation here with obamaumao. It is more akin to LBJ’s attempt— which was blocked. But to hear the wonks say it— it’s happened a lot. They’ve gone out of their way to show how Anthony Kennedy was “approved” in the last year of Reagan-— notably skipping over the actions of that moron Joe Biden (with his Duke law school prof lib professors writing up a “report”) along with whale boy Teddy Kennedy (both of these mental midgets in charge of the Judiciary Committee) who “Borked” Robert Bork and then ultimately weaseled Reagan into a nomination of Anthony Kennedy which the DEMOCRAT controlled Senate “allowed” and appointed in an ELECTION year.

For Republicans to block any nomination is their perrogative, just as it was Democrats to delay and “Bork” Robert Bork for nearly a freaking YEAR such that the democrats now try to say— “see— Reagan did it in an election year”..... what jive. And what a freaking LIAR is Schumer who said— in 2007 advise “NO” on ANY and ALL George W. Bush nominations—now saying he never said “no hearing on a nomination” (which is a lie— the speech is on the Media Research Center site— he’s lying, again).
