Wouldn’t an interim appointment like this expire in one year?

If that happens, McConnel should suspend the filibuster and confirm Trumps first nomination to SCOTUS.

Cloward-Piven dictates that he go for it.

It’s easy to succeed when chaos is your only goal.

I don’t think there is a gap of any time at all between the sessions.

Congress declares recesses. The new congress can just recess. Then this stupid move would be finished.

Yes! Anyone who thinks there are things that even Obama will not do—because of tradition, propriety, decency, etc.—is still asleep.

Garland would also lose his current judge seat which trump would fill.
Even Obama isn’t stupid enough to try this. Well maybe he is.

Why the 5 minute wait? If it’s a senate rule, the majority can change it.

“It would exacerbate acute political tensions that have roiled the transition process and promise turbulence

This seems to be Hussein's goal, actually.

Garland would not dare risk his life on such a gambit

The solution to such an appointment is just too simple

You don't seriously think he plays golf do you?

Have you seen the videos of him bowling or throwing a baseball?

"Golf" is when he presides over the invisible revolutionary government which has been in power since 2009.
