There is an obvious way to stop Trump from appointing a justice: Impeach him. Impeachment hearings are the one thing which takes precedence over confirmation of a justice. There is no limit to how many times a president can be impeached and he has considerately provided Democrats with bucket loads of impeachable offenses.
This would obviously be a dirty trick by the Democrats but so what? The Republicans themselves firmly established a precedent for not confirming a justice in an election year. IMO, the Dems will be fools if they don't use whatever means are at their disposal to foil the Republicans in their bid for naked hypocrisy.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
