Well, that's what he should do is make recess appointments. His heart is in the right place. Now if he'll just follow through, it may work out.

While Bush can make recess appointments for executive branch positions, I don't know if it is legal for judicial appointments. The latter are for life, to avoid having to kow-tow to politicians (to remain unbiased and all that). If a sitting judge has to be re-confirmed it could affect his impartiality, knowing he has to kiss up to the congress critters again in 12 months.
