The Republicans realize that they may not control the Senate in 4 months and are in "panic mode". The about-face they've done on appointing a SC candidate from their 2016 stance, show them as "hypocrites of the first degree".
Hypocrites of the first degree - that describes them perfectly. All the "reasons" they've given here to justify themselves just makes it more clear what a bunch of hypocrites they are.
A vacancy has been created, and it’s simply the POTUS’s job to fill it.
Correct. It isn't like Trump is the first president to fill the position in an election year. It is done all the time and not something unusual. The left doesn't seem to get that.

ATX Wahine, gg, and many others here suffer from 2016 amnesia.

Oh they get it just fine. It was Mitch who said it shouldn't be done in 2016 because it was an election year.
It was Lindsey Graham who said "remember this & you can use my words against me".
Their hypocrisy is showing but, I say let em do it.
What comes around goes around & there is enough hypocrisy to go around.
Our country is going to be seriously more broken after this. "What is the big deal? We always fill a SC justice seat in an election year. Oh, except that last time but it doesn't count. And you can assume that if it happens again when a Democrat is President, you'l lose that seat too."

That's exactly it. It IS coming around and now they don't like it. Which is so dumb considering that worst case scenario, they don't fill the seat, Trump loses and the Senate confirms a Biden nominee and the court is back to 5-4. Why upturn the entire system?
