The issue is that the GOP is attempting to have it both ways, and thereby get to appoint two judges. Having set a precedent, to immediately go back on it clearly demonstrates that there was no principle involved and the "let the voters decide" rhetoric was blatant dishonesty. Which is no big surprise, but it's galling how brazen they're being about it.
There is no principle here, just getting what they want by any means necessary, no matter what the circumstances are. If McConnell wants there to simply be no rules or standards, then there's very little reason not to have him assassinated.
