Is that right? Can a President bypass the Senate by picking a sitting circuit justice? I'm kind of drunk and not competent to look it up myself.

I'm not a legal scholar, but I'd say no, any SCOTUS candidate would need to be confirmed by the Senate.  Otherwise Obama could simply just pick a sitting circuit justice and appoint them and bypass the Senate, which would be the smart thing to do by now.
