We've stood by and accepted the hugely ruinous spending, the complete abdication of borders, the pork (course, hard to blame someone who doesn't veto it more than you blame the a-holes who proposed and voted it), and some fairly weak and mistimed messages - things that could have done better had they been explained to the public with more expertise - while we waited to see the Court restaffed. That was the prize, the one factor that would reshape American society for the next generation.
