The difference is that the opposing party was in power for one and not the other. How do you not understand this?

I guess you didn't take Constitutional Law.In both cases, the President had a right to make a nomination. It doesn't matter which party controls the Senate.

In the case of Garland, McConnell said any nomination by Obama should be blocked because it was too close to the 2016 presidential election that was eight months away. "The American people may well elect a president who decides to nominate Judge Garland for Senate consideration. The next president may also nominate someone very different. Either way, our view is this: Give the people a voice," McConnell said.

In the case of Barrett, she was nominated by Trump 38 days before the 2020 election. McConnell had no issue with the American voters not having a say for that pick. lol

Hypocrisy pure and simple.
