Why does the sacrament of Holy Orders like the sacrament of Confirmation and Baptism can not be repeated?

The three sacraments you mention bring about an ontological change in the person receiving that sacrament, that are now something different from what they were before and will remain so throughout eternity. To TRY to repeat them is to commit a sin, an act of blasphemy that would show that you didn't believe God had brought about the change that He promised.
