The Legislative Branch, can’t both nominate and confirm a SCOTUS Justice, with absolutely no input from the Executive Branch, that breaks checks and balances of each other and SCOTUS itself cannot do same, for same reason.

Justice Kennedy may have been nominated by Republican President, but he routinely sided with the Liberal Justices. Neil Gorsuch, who Trump nominated last year also sided with a recent ruling that did not favour Trump.

That said, Trump being able to pick another Justice is a win win for him in that he can shape the Judiciary for decades to come, he has already picked and got confirmed many District court judges.
