#2 For President Eisenhower, all three of his recess appointments became three of the most significant justices in history, including Earl Warren, who later became Chief Justice; Potter Stewart; and William J. Brennan, Jr.

That's NOT a great track record there, Sparky

#5 IMO the "Recess Appointment" should be left to history along with goose quill pens on parchment -- only revived in apocalyptic times where communication channels collapse.

#6 Sometimes the SCOTUS splits in ways you might not expect. In the 2018 cases with a 5-4 split, Gorsuch voted with the left six times, Roberts 3, Thomas 2, and Kavanaugh 1. Ginsberg even voted with the Right once - Mont v. U.S. See link Pages 44-46

It's your friends in the media who make the Court monolithic right and left.

#7 Lagoa would be the hardest one for the Dems to demonize - and might cost them. Hispanic, Female, and already approved 80-15 vote. Got a lot of splaining to do if they attack her now.

#8 #6 Bobby, I think that's right. I don't know one end of the SCt from the other, but in the lower courts, lawyers often make statements such as "I'd rather have Judge X on this case than Judge Y." But that's an intuitive probability estimate, not a scientific prediction of the outcome.
