| 47. Because Dems won't always be in the minority |

As opposition, you have to pick your battles. There will be institutional gridlock if the minority were to stop every single thing that it did not like. When the tables are turned, majority Dems will not want to suffer the same gridlock.
This is the same reason why a Repug rule change can blow up in their faces the next time we have a Dem Senate and Dem president.
