The Washington Post and the Democrats were for it in 2016 when President Obama nominated Justice Scalia's replacement and now they're against it. Isn't it ironic that the GOP will likely pull it off this time because the Democrats changed the rules so they could get away with it last time...

Why are the Republicans not following there own precedent? They refused to allow hearings, much less a vote, in 2016. Now you want to paint the Democrats as the hypocrites when they are just wanting the Republicans to follow their own precedent. What a crock.

Because they had the power to do so then, and the power to do so now. Do you really believe for a minute that they will let this opportunity pass by? They blocked a Democrat POTUS from replacing a conservative Justice, which was the intent from the beginning, had Hilliary ran a better campaign, it would be she who got to pick 3 justices, because RBG would have stepped down long before this. As Obama once glibly said, elections have consequences. If they do NOT try to replace her, they will lose my vote. Further, you know as well as I do, a republican POTUS with a Democrat controlled senate, that the democrats would block the appointment. This is politics. all of them are hypocritical.
