If Bush is defeated, he will not be able to nominate anyone as a lame duck.  The Democrats in the Senate could just stall until Kerry is inaugerated,

If Bush is defeated, he will not be able to nominate anyone as a lame duck.  The Democrats in the Senate could just stall until Kerry is inaugerated,

And then the GOP would return the favor, resulting in zero Kerry nominees every getting on the bench. Certainly not Supreme Court justices.

You could delay for two months, most of which time the Senate is in recess.   You couldn't delay for four years; at the very least, the Republicans would get destroyed at the midterms.
