All the Senate has to do is wait until 1159 that morning to adjourn 'sine die' and 0bola will not have a chance to make a recess appointment.
Even if they adjourn sine die earlier than that, all recess appointments expire the moment a new Congress is sworn in. All appointments requiring Senate confirmation MUST be confirmed by the Senate before they become permanent. There is no backdoor process to a permanent position on the court.

No-- re-read Article II. A recess appointment lasts until the end of the next Congressional session (so, for about a year).
You seem to know what the hell you are talking about, rare quality these days.
Whats your take on Cruzs eligibility?
