The state constitution does not specify a time constraint on the Governor.

Wrong! And here's three credible sources to prove it:

The Council will select two or more nominees to send to the governor. The governor will have 45 days to make an appointment from the Council's list.

Supreme Court Vacancy 2009

The governor appoints a supreme court justice or a judge of the court of appeals, superior court, or district court from a list of qualified candidates submitted by the Alaska Judicial Council. The governor has 45 days from receipt of the list to make the appointment.

About the Alaska Court System

The names of Superior Court Judges Morgan Christen and Eric Smith were forwarded to Gov. Sarah Palin, who by law has 45 days to appoint one of them to Alaska's highest court.

It’s an unjust law, because it is unconstitutional. The Governor, and every officer of governement, have sworn an oath to defend innocent human life.

Laws passed by the Legislature which are unconstitutional are null and void, and we have three co-equal branches of governement to stand as a check and balance against unconstitutional breaches of the people’s rights. The Governor has an equal duty to follow that constitution, no matter the cost to themselves personally.

Positive law cannot overrule constitutions.
