So is it possible to do a recess appointment to SCOTUS? Not in this case, because O'Connor hasn't actually left the Court yet. She is waiting until her replacement is confirmed.

And even if it was possible, a recess appointment would destroy Alito's chances of ever getting a permanent appointment the the Court. There's no way even the GOP senators would let that happen after being slapped in the face (their perspective) like that.
