Probably, but don't forget that Senate confirmation is required in order to put a nominee on the bench. However, I don't remember for sure if a simple majority suffices to confirm a USSC nominee or if it requires a 2/3 majority. If it's the latter there should be enough Pubs in the Senate for the next 4 years to prevent such an embarrassment to the Court and to the nation from becoming reality.

OTOH, GOP Senators voted to confirm some of the most liberal Justices of the 20th century, so pray that Scalia and Thomas will enjoy good health for another 5 years just in case our worst nightmare becomes reality and Obama deceives the voters one more time.
