That is all the constitution says about appointing Supreme Court judges. There is nothing relating to timing of the nomination/confirmation. Any change to this article would require a constitutional amendment, i. e., ratification by 2/3 vote of house of reps and senate and ratification by 3/4 of states. Not bloody likely given current attitudes of the various parties.
