It will be up to the Senate and that makes me nervous. He's used recess appointments before.

They will stall for 2 weeks and then give in like they always do when Obama wants something. Although I'm sure Senator Cruz can't wait for his time in the spotlight on this one.

I hope Senator Cruz does everything he can slow roll and stall any senate action.

I do side with the liberal side of politics's especially on social issues (except @2A) I fear what will happen when cases of financial matters and obviously 2A come before the Supreme Court.

A year is a long time and I doubt the republicans can postpone it that long. I don't think it would be good for Obama to pick but it might be worse if Hillary gets elected.

She would appoint Obama in repayment for getting her out of the prison term for her reckless acts involving national security.
