What if Trump were to make a recess appt and then campaign on it?

[Grasswire2]

Shhhhhhhhhhh. Don't give him this idea. Maybe there isn't a recess coming up.

1. Which recess? After the election?

If he makes it before November 3, it's not a recess appointment, is it?

Tim Naftali is an interesting fellow.

2. I wouldn't be surprised

If Moscow Mitch was willing to call a recess for the Senate just for that purpose.

Geez!



On Edit: Is that even possible to nominate a SCOTUS Justice that way?

3. Yes, temporarily. n/t

4. Just long enough to appoint The Donald

to the Presidency, you mean?

DAMN!

5. Just do it

That would be disastrous for the Rs at all levels.

Beginning on January 20, 2021, impeachment investigations can begin at all levels of the Trump judiciary for those that were able to bypass a real confirmation investigation/process.

6. That will be plan B if they don't have the votes.

7. Put it down as the worst mistake he could make

That's the kind of thing despots and tyrants do. You and I know the guy would really rather be Pol Pot, but a lot of the electorate is under the impression the US is still under the rule of law rather than the divine right of kings. Slamming a SC justice into the court via a recess appointment would forever solve that misunderstanding.

8. Any appointment he makes should be forced to recuse from any election-related cases.
