According to multiple news sources Obama has a small window to appoint someone to the SC, without them having to be approved by Senate, as the Senate is in recess until the 22end. Will Obama take advantage of this opportunity.   

I could see him doing  this as the GOP senate Caucus  appears to have  effectively closed the door until after the election on appointing some one to the SC. Obama could say in doing so he is simply ensuring the court is operating in the most effective way possible, as well an appointment now most likely is temporary as their term would expire in January of next year, and a new President might just nominate someone else in January (a temporary appointment might be accepted by the public, without much backlash). An recess appointment might look even better if they were considered well respected by all sides and or moderate as well.
