No way. Even if the result is known that the Republicans will nominated a conservative judge it's called a nomination for a reason. The Republicsn President nominates from a long list of conservative judges and they debate the merits of the judges so that he/she gets bi-partisan support. There have been cases in history where a judge was nominated and after deliberation withdrew himself. For example Dubya nominated Harriet Miers before Sam Alito. The Republican senators protested that she was unqualified and she withdrew.
Today the GOP have already confirm regardless of who it is. That is a sham.
