Summary

Donald Trump’s plan to use recess appointments for key roles could spark a Supreme Court challenge, as Senate Republicans may resist confirming controversial nominees.

Recess appointments, which bypass Senate approval, were restricted in a 2014 Supreme Court ruling, but Trump might test limits by forcing a Senate recess using a rarely invoked constitutional provision.

The conservative-majority Supreme Court could revisit its stance, though precedent favors limiting such appointments.

Legal challenges could delay any impact, as standing requires an affected party to sue, potentially prolonging disputes for years.

    Ha! This is pure propaganda bullshit, they will not stop him, nor do they care. The court already gave trump a license to do whatever he wants. They knew exactly what was coming and they paved the path, then rolled out a red carpet for him.

    This is pure shit, so that they can pretend like there was opposition when he does whatever he wants.
