He could have used this as an opportunity to educate, and to establish that he is a man of principle who will not sacrifice our rights for short-term political gain

He only "sacrificed our rights" if he is wrong about the SC. Otherwise he increased our rights.

You're insane. How could signing an unconstitutional law, a law he used as an example of his conservative credentials in the primaries, a law he promised not to support, possible be good.

You are suggesting the Supreme Court should be making these important decisions. That is judicial activism my friend. The only defenders of the Constitution are the people and their elected representatives.

No one can "increase rights". A government can only take them away by use of force.
