There's no probably about it or thinking required. That is literally the law. The President nominates a replacement, and the Senate votes to confirm it or not.

There's no probably about it or thinking required. That is literally the law. The President nominates a replacement, and the Senate votes to confirm it or not. There are plenty of layers of politics, posturing, and pomp added on, but the law is simple and clear.
