Based on your logic the Senate could completely eliminate the Supreme Court by refusing to ever confirm anyone until all remaining 8 are dead.  Is that how you think the framers intended it to work?

I don't see any of them trying to legally bar him from nominating. 

Also, nice extreme hypothetical there. The reality is the public would most likely vote them out of office if they did that.
