I'm past being impressed and am simply disgusted, with the Democrats and Bush. Bush, if he really wanted these nominees on the bench, should have been making recess appointments six months ago. Given his sorry record (almost all less conservative than those they replaced) of vacancy appointments to the Texas Supreme Court, one has to question whether these nominations weren't merely sops to conservatives.

Well, that's what he should do is make recess appointments. His heart is in the right place. Now if he'll just follow through, it may work out.

Recess appointments are only good until the end of the congressional session. They are not permanent, as I understand it, and the judges would have to be re=appointed or confirmed after that.
I could be wrong about this, but I believe that is why there have been no judiciary recess appointments.
