"Indeed, it’s possible that there are at least some senators who might balk at voting to confirm particular nominees who would nevertheless be willing to go along with adjournment entirely to avoid having to vote up or down on a Kash Patel, Mike Flynn, or the like."
Vladeck: "[S]o long as the Senate majority leader is willing to move an adjournment motion, and so long as a majority of the Senate is willing to vote in favor, nothing would stop this transparent end-run around the Senate from succeeding."

President-Elect Trump is already proposing to bypass a Republican-controlled Senate to install many of his nominees. But could he also do that to fill a seat on the Supreme Court? Yes, albeit briefly.
