此为一道LSAT阅读题

The United States Supreme Court has not always resolved legal issues of concern to Native Americans in a manner that has pleased the Indian nations. Many of the Court’s decisions have been products of political compromise that looked more to the temper of the times than to enduring principles of law. But accommodation is part of the judicial system in the United States, and judicial decisions must be assessed with this fact in mind.

问中间一句（Many of the Court’s decisions have been products of political compromise that looked more to the temper of the times than to enduring principles of law.）怎么理解？“more to the temper of the times than to enduring principles of law”是什么意思？这个DECISIONS对NATIVE AMERICANS是有利还是不利？

Many of the Court’s decisions have been products of political compromise that looked more to the temper of the times than to enduring principles of law.）

翻译过来就是Court的决定是政治妥协的产物, 过多的受到了某时代社会情绪的情况而没有坚持法律的基本原则.

是对上一句的解释. court pleased native american. 照顾了他们的情绪

谢楼上，那LOOK TO THE TEMPER OF TIMES 应该是对NATIVE AMERICAN不利，而ENDURE THE PRINCIPLE OF LAW就是对NATIVE AMERICAN有利了吧
