To violate the constitution was within their constitutional authority?

No, but to block judicial appointments from occurring was. Or do you not remember the events of only a few months ago when the Dems were in control of the current senate? Judicial benches all over the country sat vacant for over a year, and many are still vacant, because the senate blocked any effort to fill them. Now it was wrong of them to do so, and we were right to complain, but it cannot be denied that the act of doing so is a right of theirs under the Constitution.

Even if in doing so they were ignoring a constitutional requirement for an entire branch of government? Like I said, it's a neat trick you accept. They trampled on the constitution by refusing to accept their constitutional requirement to staff a supreme court. All aided and abetted by Davis himself. After all, he was within his constitutional power to use a recess appointment. But why appoint something that you have no respect for and might just get in your way? Ya gotta love it.
