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.

Article 2, section 2

Not clear to me if that would be temporary or permanent.

Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren using a recess appointment after the death of a Supreme Court justice.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 3.

It would only last until the end of Congress’s session, but a lot of damage could be done in that time.
