It means fighting a battle you're going to lose.
Interesting, every time i've seen your name I assumed it had something to do with Hawaiian sovereignty. I've also thought it strange that you live in California with that handle. I figured you were were a transplant from Hawaii to California. In many parts of Hawaii the issue of sovereignty is still a big deal.
