Only if you consider Congressional investigations of Iran/Contra (Reagan), BCCI/Iraqgate (GHW Bush) and CIA spying on Americans and assassinating foreign leaders (Nixon/Ford) ..."just because".

Just take a look at the opinions of Dems v. Reps as regards filibusters in 2007 versus 2005 and you'll see how this works.

Good example.
Look at how many filibusters (cloture votes) were conducted by Democrats between 2000-2006 as opposed to Republican filibusters in just the first term of the 110th Congress (2007).
It would be factually correct to say, regardless of one's political persuasion, that Republicans have used fillibusters/cloture votes to block legislation far more than Democrats
