Personally I think one of them absolutely should if they think a like-minded successor would be confirmed. As much as Republicans are pissed about filibuster reform, I think if Obama picked someone center-left he could probably still get Murkowski, Kirk, and Collins, as well as two of McCain, Flake, Chambliss, Johanns, Heller, Ayotte, Portman, Alexander, Toomey, and post-primary win Graham.
Also, I always thought it would be interesting if a justice tried to choose his own successor. For example, Kennedy would tell Obama he'd retire, but only if Obama agreed to nominate Merrick Garland. Well, at least it could make a decent B plot on House of Cards.
