The Republicans used their share of procedural blocking of Senate business when the Democrates had control of the Senate. The nuclear option was availiable then as well: with a simple majority, the Democrates could have changed the rules of the Senate, and removed the procedural blocking mechanisms.
The Democrates didn't, as far as I am aware -- was it even threatened?
In what way was that not respecting "minority party" rights?
