If a ‘Rat is in charge, then it’s fine.
Just ask Traitor Roberts.
Not Constitutionally.
Trump should have nominated 5 or 6, tentatively!
Frankly, no.
The Senate would not be empowered to receive such an appointment.
If there was a specific term, that that would be possible. For example, the Massachusetts legislature appointed a successor to John Quincy Adams more than a year before his term was up (they didn’t like the way he was voting). But with lifetime appointment, there is no vacancy date.
But suppose it comes out tomorrow that Jones actually murdered someone, and nobody now wants her on SCOTUS. I don't think the President could withdraw a confirmed nomination, nor could the Senate "undo" a confirmation. So you'd then have to let her take office, them impeach her. Seems odd.
It begins
I think it would be funny as hell if Breyer said, “on further consideration, I have decided to postpone my retirement until after the 2024 elections.”
Well, I am sure Justice Breyer’s resignation letter included the date he is going to retire at the end of the Supreme Court term, so the President and Senate can act to fill the vacancy effective that date.
They can’t just appoint someone to fill a random future vacancy.
Then we would have ten justices
Constitution? Pfffttt! Court order? Pfffttt!! Bill of Rights? Pfffttt! None of them are “absolute”. To the libgressives, nothing is off limits for ignoring.
Suppose Breyer changes his mind and decides to remain on the Court? What then?
Appointment of an inferior Black woman as replacement is an insult to Stephen Breyer.
Not Constitutionally.

Not a concern to Democrats.
Nor something to defend for Republicans.
A governing framework and principles are so yesterday. /sarc

If she cannot take the oath of office until after Breyer resigns then we would not have ten justices. On the other hand, liberals have never been noted for their support of the rule of law when it did not suit them.
“Suppose Breyer changes his mind and decides to remain on the Court? What then?”
he should upgrade his medical and life insurance.
Malta’s and Epstein’s Roberts have already shown
that they can murder any Justice they want, just
like they were one of their bound children.
...but they sure as hell will try. Look for Sotomayer to hint her health problems are worsening and is contemplating resignation.
That's Gotime for the Ds
