That was NOT McConnell, that was Harry Reid

We're both right in a way. In 2013 Reid eliminated the judicial filibuster for nominees other than the SC. In 2017 McConnell followed up by eliminating the filibuster for SC justices as well.

If it was so easy, how come no Republican since 1973 has managed to do it?

Nixon nominated four justices to SCOTUS who were confirmed by the Senate. Of the four, only Rehnquist dissented in Roe v. Wade. His Chief Justice, Warren Burger, concurred, writing:

"I do not read the Court's holdings today as having the sweeping consequences attributed to them by the dissenting Justices; the dissenting views discount the reality that the vast majority of physicians observe the standards of their profession, and act only on the basis of carefully deliberated medical judgments relating to life and health. Plainly, the Court today rejects any claim that the Constitution requires abortions on demand."
