I certainly understand the Republican(ish) position on this.
In 2014 the US Senate became Republican with the voter intent to frustrate President Obama's agenda.
In 2018 the US Senate remained Republican in a large part due to the SC and lower court appointments Trump was nominating.
That said, I personally would prefer Trump announcing who he would nominate, and then asking the Senate to wait until after the new Senate is called to session.
or nominate Merritt Garland just for the pure political comedy of it!
