Mitch McConnell’s rule was that, nine whole months before an election, a president who had been elected with not only the most votes, but outright majorities (twice) should not be allowed to fulfill his Constitutional obligation to nominate a Supreme Court Justice.
Now über hypocrite McConnell’s NEW rule is that, only four months before an election, gotta rush an appointment of a Supreme Court justice through as fast as possible, even though nominated by a “president” who did not get a majority of the vote, did not even get the most votes, and is under investigation for possible collusion with a hostile foreign power to fraudulently get their Manchurian Candidate (fiction brought to life) installed so Russia can essentially conquer the United States from within.
And the party of Nixon (who famously debated Nikita Khrushchev in their shoe-pounding “we will bury you” “kitchen debates”) and Reagan (“Evil Empire”; “Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall”) has become the complacent party of appeasement, surrender and complicity in dancing at the end of Putin’s puppet strings.
