He dropped his ideals in the face of realilty and became pragmatic?
Let's just say picking up the Louisiana Purchase was too good to pass up, even though buying real estate was not in Article II of the Constitution. Calling it a treaty was sort of an 'end run'.
Agreed, it was.

I applaude TJ for abandoning his foolish principles in favor of a well reasoned approach to governing the nation.

Had he not taken advantage of Napoleon's desperate need for cash, and Napoloeon's desire to help the USA be a thorn in the side of England, I'd have thought him a damned fool and a an idiot of a POTUS.
