From the article it feels like a worse variation of "Iโ€™ll do it but not because I have toโ€.

More like, "I'll do some of it, at my own pace, because doing all of it now is too expensive." Of course that wouldn't trump the fundamental human rights that are at issue here - but if you win on the claim that there aren't any such rights applicable, then the above is much easier to win ...

Of course I might just be being a tad too cynical here.

They really need to raise taxes. It would be unpopular, but everyone's tired of them already, so now's the moment.

Sorta like lame ducks who can do the right thing by their conscience as they are no longer burdened by popular mandates or seeing re-election.
