"We’re going to use every possible tool: court actions, legislative actions, whistleblowers, the bully pulpit."

Those are some pretty weak tools. They control the courts and the legislature. Whistleblowers only matter if the executive branch decides to bring a case before the courts, and neither of those seems likely. We've been using the bully pulpit all along, and it doesn't sound like it's going to be any more effective now.

This sounds like a recipe for going down fighting. And hey, that's worth something. From "The Lion In Winter":

Geoffrey: My you chivalric fool... as if the way one fell down mattered.

Richard: When the fall is all there is, it matters.
