I have said here many times, that the senate republicans COMPLETELY flip flopped (at least, the ones who said that they denied Garland because of the proximity to an election) And they deserve to be criticized for that.
Now, can you admit the democrats are equally hypocritical? Because back in 2016, they were saying it was OK to fill a vacancy in an election year.
Biden, especially. He made a statement so famous they called it the Biden rule, saying presidents shouldn't fill vacancies in an election year, and if they try, the senate should refuse a hearing. Obviously Biden flip flopped in 2016, now he's flip flopping again.
Wayne, in 2016 the American people decided to give senate control to republicans. They didn't do that, because they wanted Scalia replaced with a liberal. In 2020, the Americans elected Trump and again, gave senate control to republicans.
Elections have consequences, filling a vacancy is pretty clearly allowed.
