10. Time is valuable. If they are "forced" to filibuster, the Senate cannot consider other items.

There is only limited floor time left before the election season recess, and there are other must-pass items on the agenda.

I'm sure Republicans would be more than happy to run out the clock on the 111th Congress, however.
