"Once the appointment is up, will the Rats still stall and filibuster a vote on a current judge?"I think this is a good question. I suspect that it has never been specifically addressed, and that there is neither any specific rule nor any precedent. If I am right, this would be ripe for a brand-new ruling from the chair, to CREATE a new precedent for the future that such reappointment votes cannot be filibustered.

Just keep in mind that such a precedent would then be in place for any recess appointments that they make in the future as well.

I believe there is a precedent -- Ronnie White, from Missouri. Didn't GW reappoint him?

How many seats do we need to overcome a filibuster in the Senate?
