Garbage article with elementary logic - Edit 2

In February 2016, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made up a rule that presidents may not install a Supreme Court justice in the last year of their terms. Most Republicans fell in line, endorsing this principle on the grounds that the American people should decide who gets to pick the next justice. Many of these same lawmakers are now backing McConnell’s plan to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the midst of a presidential election. They have abandoned any real effort to justify their reversal.
This simplistic narrative that was immediately being pushed by the left wing media and so many of my fellow RAFOer's are embracing is simplistic and false.
Its so much more complicated than "The republicans set the rule in 2016 with Obama's pick". This is all part of a much MUCH longer history on this subject.
And to sit here and claim that its some new rule established by republicans in 2016 and that they are now hypocrites shows how little the author of this article knows on the subject and by extension how little my esteemed fellow OP'er knows on the subject.
