We pundits
We drew our sword;
We cast our veto.
Our reward
Is Sam Alito.

"They" say that the perfect is enemy of the good. If you veto something good that is not perfect, you may not get the perfect instead. Maybe they should also say that the poor is friend to the horrific. If you veto what is disappointing, you may get something worse.
