It is not crazy in the least. In fact it is very bipartisan to take the lead from the Democrats and their very clear and unequivocal advice that a new member of SCOTUS should not be confirmed in an election year. I find it more than amusing that the one time I agree with prominent Democrats, including our current POTUS and VPOTUS, that I am branded as crazy and harming the country.
You say one of the leading candidates has already been confirmed, but it is a far cry being confirmed to a post that ends with the administration than a life-time appointment to the Supreme Court. Someone could be acceptable for one role but not for another. And that includes lower court justices. If he nominates someone with Scalia's judicial temperament then confirm away. If he proposes the kind of justice that I believe he will propose then screw him. We can wait. The world will not end.
