...best ambivalent towards equality for homosexuals and, at worst, antagonistic to any egalitarian-minded legislation. Indeed, while Cheney's position, on one hand, empowers states to equalize the legal status of homosexuals and heterosexuals, on the other hand it gives the federal government an excuse to be apathetic with regard to states who fail to take such progressive steps, or, in a worse scenario, chose to adopt legislation that is openly hostile towards gays.

...politically tone-deaf, but those qualities helped her stand out in an Administration that often lacked ethical bearings. Aides admit she has a social worker's soft side that often gets the better of her, as it did in her handling of the Elian Gonzalez case.
