Why can't we go without a justice for 4 months? After Scalia died we lacked a justice for nearly a year.

Because this time, most likely there will be a contested election. And because this time it's different because both the WH and Senate are held by the same party unlike 2016. SC judge needs both Senate and WH and that was not the case in 2016.
