Democrats countered this was just business as usual and argued Republicans used filibusters to block far more of President Clinton's judicial nominations.

As far I know, this is another lie. Didn't these judges lose on an up/down vote allowed by the pubs?...Please correct me if I'm misinformed.

You are correct. The Republicans did bottle people up in committee, but if anyone of them had the support of 51 senators, the majority could have ordered the committee to report the nomination to the floor for a vote. The GOP never denied a Clinton nominee with majority support a floor vote.
