Interesting analysis on the potential Jan. 3 Appointment of Merrick Garland

[Tiggeroshii]

That idea that's been going around of appointing Garland when the Senate meets to confirm the new Senators could hit some snags, according to this conservative blog I found. According to this guy, they would need to re-nominate Garland for the new Senate term and he cannot be nominated on the same day he is appointed without unanimous consent.

Anybody have a clue as to the accuracy of those statements?

Wonder if it could still count as a recess appointment, since there would need to be some kind of a gap between the previous term and the new term?
