Do you find it illogical that Republicans are saying that nomination of a new Supreme Court justice should wait until we have a new president?

As you have probably heard, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died yesterday. Obama made a speech last night at about 8:45 pm, EST, and he mentioned that he will fulfill his constitutional duty and nominate a new Justice.
I saw a clip of the Republican debate where Trump said the Republicans should stall this, so that the nomination gets put off until we have a new President. All over the news, they’re saying this is going to be a big fight, is very important, etc.
A new President is almost a year away. Yes, one will be elected in November, but won’t start until January 2017, almost a year away.
The President is obligated to nominate a new Justice. It’s his job.
Is this illogical? Shameless? Brave? Politics as usual?
