What's the longest period of time in which a seat on the Supreme Court has been vacant?

This seat would be quickly filled if Rafael Cruz was nominated.

The Schumer precedent mandates that it stay vacant till 2017 isn't a real thing and certainly never actually resulted in the rejection of any Supreme Court nominations.

Of course its a real thing. Mr. Schumer stated in 2007 that the Senate was done confirming Supreme Court nominations until January 2009.
