Historically, it has taken about two months to move from nomination of Supreme Court Justices to confirmation. If there is a nomination next Friday and the historical timetable holds, then we should have the newest Justice on the court by mid-September at the latest.
The average numbers of days (nominations since 1975) for each stage in the confirmation process are listed below:
Nomination to Hearing: 39
Hearing Days: 5
Hearing to Markup: 10
Markup to Floor: 13
Total: Nomination to Confirmation 72
Supreme Court nominations under President Clinton
Nomination to Hearing: 42
Hearing Days: 4
Hearing to Markup: 5
Markup to Floor: 7
Total: Nomination to Confirmation 58
