Do have any examples where the republican Senate Filibustered USSC nominees because they didn't like the ideology of the nominee? I don't recall any such cases.

Unlike the current Senate.

First, we're not talking about filibusters. Second, I think you're proving my point of your double standard (or conveniently poor memory), but check this out:

"Democrats counter that they have, in fact, approved 124 of the president's nominees, while blocking only two. That's faster than Republicans moved President Clinton's nominees when they controlled the Senate. Moreover, some 60 Clinton nominees never had a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee - as effective a block to confirmation as a filibuster, they add.
