But if you're right, and I don't think the criticisms of all the Supremes are exactly fair but forget that for a second, then doesn't pushing an argument that even your normal allies run from almost guarantee that you are going to be isolating yourselves rhetorically?

And I get the argument that fighting for a principle is important even if you lose. But that sort of makes sense only if you're Leonidas at Thermopylae, and your only choice is dying in place or surrendering/running away.

But Obama is so vulnerable to criticism on so many different levels that complete victory is still possible if you switch up the tactics. But right now, it just looks to me like you guys are Joe Hooker at Fredrickburg. No matter how many times you send those boys up the Heights, they're just going to keep dying in droves.

No, a better war analogy is Obama is the Japanese war machine that has ran wild for most of 1942 over the Far East Pacific rim after declaring war on the US, but defeat is inevitable especially after the Midway battle. And the Americans only have to stay the course for certain victory in a war of attrition.
