I disagree, this is a political decision. Who is up for a vote is the potential nominator and confirmers of the next Justice.

The Constitution lays out a process. Executing that process is a political decision. Since this is an election year, let the public weigh in through their votes first before we get a nominee.

Let's say that is true. Then do you think the Supreme Court Justices might start retiring during election years to influence elections? Each situation is unique, and I agree that this is one certainly is. But I am not for a biased result just because it suits me. I am going to be listening tonight too, and I will see which one is the least political and the most Constitutional. I hope I am not disappointed.
