Reminder :quote:When the Senate is in recess, a president may make temporary appointments to fill vacancies. Recess appointees hold office only until the end of the next Senate session (less than two years). The Senate must confirm the nominee for them to continue serving; of the two chief justices and six associate justices who have received recess appointments, only Chief Justice John Rutledge was not subsequently confirmed.

I'm pretty sure the Senate is in Recess right now which would mean Obama can appoint someone as to fill a vacancy.

Discendo Vox posted:The senate can stop that with pro forma sessions, so it probably won't happen. I don't think so, this was what that whole debate was about regarding recess appointments. Scalia passed away in a actual recess.

This means huge strides in LGBT rights with him dying. Specifically, the ADA court case regarding person's who are transgender that's winding it's way through the federal courts right now. So yeah him dying is going to a lot of good. Hopefully.

This nomination is going to be the hill that Cruz or Rubio choose to die on so that'll be pretty great.
