Scalia died in February - a full 9 months before the elections. RBG died just 45 days away from elections.
Also it was the same republicans who wanted to wait for the new president to nominate the new justice in 2016. So you should ask them to be consistent with that playbook now.
Pro
OP it’s hypocrisy.
Because they blocked Obama’s nominee.
February vs September. Election is November. Get it?
8 months vs. 40 days.
More importantly - it’s the precedent that was set by Mitch McConnell who ‘by principle’ blocked garland for 8 months because it should be the people that decide who their Supreme Court is.
Chief
Because that's not the hypocrisy.
Pro
OP - do you have any gay friends? Honest question. Ask them what this means to them. Life is not just about your taxes. Have some empathy
Didn’t Trump administration ban transgenders from serving in the military? Didn’t he revert the Civil Rights Act that extended to trans? Weren’t republicans against gay marriage? Yeah they don’t hate the gays they just don’t think you deserve the same rights as heterosexuals

Speaking of cherry picking, boys, I don’t know who’s doing that better than Democrats.

If garland got through, dems would have no defense right now. THAT'S the point.
240 days for the Senate to vet, discuss, bring in Garland to testify, and hold a vote . Compare that to doing all that in 40 days. In summary, It is not the same situation in the slightest.
