There is a difference between opposition and obstruction
When Bush Jr was in office, the Democrats abused the system, but not on the scale the Republicans are now. In fact, if you look at the numbers, it looks like the Democrats blocked fewer bills under Bush then the Republicans did under Clinton but a small margin. But the current rate looks to be double the previous number, which was already too high.
The same pattern holds for Judicial nominations. The Republicans complain about it constantly, but they abused the system more then the Democrats did.
Both parties have corrupt members and both have even more that manipulate and abuse the system. And historically there have been times when the Democrats where more corrupt then the Republicans. But I can not think of any type of corruption where the Democrats abuse the system more then the Republicans right now.
