You are absolutely wrong. As I previously posted, her dying words were to wait until the election was over to choose a new justice.

The unfortunate fact is Trump will whatever he can cement his mark on the office. would he honour the wishes of a dying person >> methinks not, and the fact that it is woman who has died, makes even less impact I think on POTUS, who shows no person of any gender any respect.

 When Obama had 285 days before the election the Republicans cried not right to select a supreme court judge now in some states they’re already voting and 40 some days before the election and they wanna ram Rod a supreme court judge Republican should be embarrassed but nothing embarrasses Trump how low can he go he said he gives himself an a for the job he’s done against the virus  He knew in January how deadly and how easy the virus can spread through air and then when I TV two days later and lied about it he’ll be remembered as the worst lying president America ever had

What they said in 2016:

 

Chuck Schumer on Feb. 22, 2016, tweeted:  "Attn: GOP Senate has confirmed 17 SCOTUS justices in presidential election years.  Do your job."

 

Excerpt from "Hillary Clinton Statement on the Passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia:"  "The Republicans in the Senate and on the campaign trail who are calling for Justice Scalia's seat to remain vacant dishonor our Constitution.  The Senate has a constitutional responsibility here that it cannot abdicate for partisan political reasons."

 

And Obama on Feb. 17, 2016:

 

 

Of course they all now advocate for delaying any Supreme Court Justice confirmation until after the election.

 

As you asked, "What has changed?"

They advocate for Mitch McConnell to apply the rules he invents consistently.

Sure.

So, what do you call it when a politician writes and enforces unjust laws which create unlevel playing fields, but then says that they are fighting systemic racism?

You'd have to give specific examples, and we're already way off-topic.

And how many GOP voters who plan to vote for Trump wouldn't vote for him if he would set a new supreme court justice before the election? I guess about zero.

On the other hand: How many GOP voters who are now no big Trump fans would vote for him if there is no new supreme court judge before the election? I guess many would vote for Trump to make sure they get a conservative candidate after the election.

Summary: Get it done before the election to make sure Trump does not get any more votes than his fan base.

That is obviously not good but the lesser evil.
