Who gets to pick the next justice?
Obama.
It's hard to say. But if Hillary looks to be a likely president, then Republicans will probably prefer to have Obama fill the slot.

Re: Scalia is impossible to replace.
Of all of the things said about Scalia, the statement that he is irreplaceable irks me the most.
Sorry to irk you, but
  • he is irreplaceable;
  • I am glad that he is irreplaceable.
I can do without another Scalia on the court. The next appointee to the court should be there in his own right, and not as a Scalia replacement.
