In a Monday interview, the senator from Arizona said that Republican nominee Donald Trump is not necessarily a better candidate than Hillary Clinton when it comes to appointing Supreme Court justices, promising that Republicans wouldn’t approve any Clinton nominee to the Supreme Court.
“I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up,” McCain told WPHT in Philadelphia. “I promise you. This is where we need the majority.”

Republicans would not consider President Obama's nominee because they believed the voters should have a say in the matter by electing the next president. I thought it was wrong, but they have the majority and there wasn't much that could be done.
Now that their nominee's chances don't look so good they are retracting that earlier statement and declaring open opposition by the democratic nominee.
