Umm no, Obama gets to NOMINATE a SCOTUS justice. The Senate will not even act on the nomination prior to next January.

Sawed on the internets so could be wrong: The longest the Senate has ever stalled on a nominee is 125 days, and Obama has 361 days left of his presidency.
I like this. If there was a Republican in the Whitehouse he would be saying just the opposite.

"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice," Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement. "Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we
have a new President."
