A while back Tex indicated the GOP only protested to the use of the filibuster for judicial nominees. I pointed out the total falsity of that statement, and Tex stopped responding. Now the GOP is literally blocking every single appointee (judicial or otherwise) to any office. Why? So Sen. Shelby can force the Democrats to give a military contract to a foreign manufacturer who has contributed a lot of money to Shelby in the past.

I assume that even if Tex and other GOPers don't believe the factual statement that the GOP protested to the use of the filibuster to pass bills in the past, they still believe the filibuster shouldn't be used on judicial nominees. If so, where's their outrage?
