Look at what is certain to happen with the next Supreme Court vacancy - nothing. The Dems will not allow it and so a recess appointment of the next Supreme Court Justice is virtually guaranteed. Bush might as well get on with it with the Circuit Court and other nominees. In the years ahead it will just be business as usual so we might as well start now.
It isn't a given, of course, that the current list of nominees will grab the recess appointment ring but you bet they will line up for any version of a Supreme Court nomination. Even if some or most decline, I suspect that there are plenty of good conservative candidates out there that will fill the bill.
