Prominent American lawyer, jurist, author and political commentator Alan Dershowitz joined Steve Malzberg Monday on Newsmax TV to discuss the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia and the resulting court vacancy.

Dershowitz believes Obama will not get away with a recess appointment to the Supreme Court.“Can’t do it. Can’t do it. A recess appointment won’t apply. Because the senate, A, has to be in recess and, B, it has to be a very short term appointment. Justice Brennan was appointed initially as a recess appointment because the person he succeeded died during the summer and the senate was not in session. But, he can’t do that now… he wouldn’t get away with that. I think the public wouldn’t hear that. “
