And it's not a hard ruling. I see no reason why SCOTUS couldn't use a simple intent test and say that the recess clause must be read in conjunction with the advise and consent clause and so if the House tries to make the Senate recess in order to get around that (as opposed to a legitimate recess disagreement) then any appointments made as a result are unlawful.
If that doesn't work for some reason, then they can just rely on this argument:
