I for one was hoping he would do exactly what he has done here. Too bad he can’t recess appoint a SC justice (if a vacnacy occurs).

Who says he can't? FIfteen Supreme Court justices were recess appointed. The last one was Potter Stewart in 1958.

He can...it's been done before...wasn't it Marshall that was appointed during a recess?
