If this is true
on Jan 4, 2016 Obama will be able to appoint anyone he wants to the Supreme Court and nobody will be able to do a damn thing about it!
The Senate won't have to approve anyone.
My guess? Say hello to Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder.

Advise and consent.
The Senate will have to stop this. Our spineless GOPe will have to do something. Finally.

I’m unfamiliar with the part of the constitution that says a president can appoint a supreme court justice without the advice and consent of the Senate if they happen to be on recess.

If he did that, it would only be for one year.

Solution. Donât adjourn. You'd think this is a no-brainer if we want to stay a Republic.

Article 2, section 2
Not clear to me if that would be temporary or permanent.

It will depend on who gets elected in November. The stakes of this election are very very high.

A recess appointment only serves until the next congress convenes.

That appointment would be replaced by the next president and senate, three weeks later.
If he does try an appointment, it is not likely anyone would accept a questionable permanency but, with the weird things going these last few years, who knows.

the problem with this is you assume the GOPe is going to do the right thing...the GOP won’t win the WH this year- it will be an outsider, Cruz or Trump, running on the GOP ticket- hence the GOPe would like nothing more than to make their job more difficult....
