He was criticized for not supporting it earlier and only did so after Gavin Newsom decided that he was above the law. (See Bob Novak's Dec. 2003 criticism of Bush for not agreeing to the amendment idea -

He's no where near as "extreme" as he should be on that issue. He should challenge it further until government discrimination on the basis of race ends permanently.
Point taken.
He wasn't killing mental patients like Clinton was.
Again, the "base" (the 10% of our party that thinks they are the majority) thinks he's actually weak on that.
You mean not fighting charities who are actually helping people just because they were started by a religious interest? No offense here... but how many athiest charities are there?
That's bullsh**t but he might as well... you people accuse his appointees of being racist even though they risked their lives for supporting civil rights. With Democrats in the Senate, white southerners need not apply for judgeships.
He supported Frist's MODERATE position on the issue and was roundly criticized by the "base" for doing so.
