...the GOP Senate might just delay the confirmation vote indefinitely.

Yes, I believe they would. I don't believe they'd even consider doing otherwise.

I don't think it matters who it would be that retires or dies before the end of Obama's term; the Pubs will leave it vacant. Before they know who the next prez will be, why even maintain a 5-4 split on the court with a potential swing vote in play on important decisions, rather than widen the margin further by hoping for their next guy in the WH to appoint another young justice?
