Even if Republicans lose the Senate majority in the election, they have the ability to confirm and appoint a justice before they leave office in January.

Yes in a lame duck session. Murkowski and Collins have already said they disapprove of that and Romney is an ABT. That leaves it at 50/50 and if even one is a sen who was already deseated then there will be a crisis of proportions over a man contesting an election result and being able to appoint the person who could throw things.
