Politics is politics. No different than agreeing to vote for a health care bill because you get 300 million in pork for your state.
That being said, I wish to reiterate that I think what Shelby is doing is wrong. I just don't see any huge moral difference in the reasons. It's wrong regardless to disallow an up or down vote. If you think someone is wrong for a job, convince 50 of your colleagues.
