In the legislative arena, especially when the country is closely divided, compromises tend to be the rule the day. But when judges rule this or that policy unconstitutional, there's little room for compromise: One side must win, the other must lose.
Politics is compromise.
If you look through history, all of the great work we've done in Congress has been around a table of compromise, when it comes to the most difficult problems.
Compromise is not such ignoble and deplorable a thing as we generally think. It is rather an indispensable factor in the political strategy.
