Is there any legal or Constitutional reason a nominee for the Supreme Court could NOT be named ahead of time, vetted & Senate approved ahead of time—waiting in the wings until an opening occurred? Since there's no 'official' number of SC justices (so I've read), why could not a new one be confirmed and seated now rather than waiting in the wings? Add another ring to the circus!

There is an official number, by the Circuit Judges Act of 1869.
