At any point in a year, as a result, by making a recess appointment during an intrasession recess, a President could fill a position not just for the rest of that year, but until near the end of the following year. In practice, this has meant that a recess appointment could last for almost two years.Mar 11, 2015

Well you are not wrong about that loser. Likely McConnell can control him though.
Eisenhower made recess appointments of SC Justice William Brennan. Subsequently confirmed.
Very risky politically however, and the GOP Senate would have to cooperate. Note that the Senate has not allowed official recess so far so as to protect AG Sessions.
The Senate can block recess appointments by either holding pro forma sessions, or simply adjourning ‘sine die’ which terminates the Senate session completely.
Dems are not the problem here.
“...just months before the midterms, behaving uncivilly...”
It plays well to their junior-high-school, psychotic base, which is approaching fifty-percentof the electorate.
IMHO
