It would require that the Democrats retake the Senate. It would be very ironic if Republican senators get ousted because of their obstructionism over Obama's pick and those ousters allow the President to pick Scalia's replacement anyway.
If Obama was going to play hardball he would have already announced his choice. It looks like he's going to wimp out.
