Try here. The search I did was something like - "judicial nomination" hold delay home state senator - . Many things popped up, and this was the first that seemed somewhat but not totally useful.

Hmmmmm......further readings indicate that the same 'hold' that is used with judicial nominees can also be used on bills...although it would appear that a 'hold' on a bill indicates an intent to filibuster.
