Given lame duck fascist wanna be king Hussein Obama only has months left to ruin this country, he may get bold enough (if told to do so by Valerie Jarrett) to put radical, anti-gun progressive Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court without even having a Senate vote.

Especially since this argument is strikingly similar to Obama’s argument regarding his own recess-appointment power. He argued before the Supreme Court he has power to fill vacancies during recesses of the Senate—including those for federal courts—at any moment when there is not a sufficient number of senators on the Senate floor to conduct business.
In other words, Obama argued that on almost any night at 3AM in the morning, he could set his alarm clock to wake up, and fill any vacancy among senior executive-branch positions, or any federal court.
In NLRB v. Noel Canning, the Supreme Court in 2014 unanimously rejected Obama’s position with a 9-0 ruling. The Court held that the power to appoint is jointly held by the president and the Senate. Only the president can put forward a name, and only the Senate can install that nominee in office.
It appears possible Obama may be considering going that route again.
