That's about the best I can make of it.

Plausable, I suppose, but a tad hypocritical. These rules didn't seem so bad to the Republicans when they were the minority. Also, the dems most likely at the time had the same power to change the rules and yet, they didn't. And for that reason, it isn't the democrats that seem arrogant to me at all.

Rather, it is the the republican party who feels that they should be able to appoint the most ultra right-wing people that they can find, people whose records are downright scary, without any opposition at all from the democratic party. They are actually offended that people would even question them. Surely they know what is best for this country and everyone should just trust them. Now that, my friend, is arrogance.
