The filibuster is a creation of Senate rules, and can be changed at any time by changing the Senate rules. I am saying that McConnell would not have let that rule stop him from confirming a Republican appointee to the Supreme Court if he had 50 votes for it, regardless of what happened when the filibuster rule was changed before (something that has happened more than once).
If you have a pathological tendency to try to find a Democratic misdeed to counterbalance whatever Republicans are doing, seek medical help.
