Recess appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court?

The Republicans made believe that we cannot have the President nominate anyone for the Supreme Court during his last year in office.

There is no precedent for this. Several Supreme Court Justices have been nominated and approved by the Senate during a President's last year in office, several times.

And yet, the GOP Senate decided that no Obama nominee, not even one who supports some of their ideas, would get a Senate vote let alone hearings.

So basically they stole a Supreme Court Justice from the Democrats.

That is why Obama should make a recess appointment to the Supreme Court after the next session of Congress begins and before trump is inaugurated.

If the GOP is going to play games, let the Democrats play along.

Its legal and its right. Garland would serve until President trump decides to replace him, if he chooses so in 2018.
