And I know I've had to submit briefs that do not exactly mirror my own philosophies in the past, so I can't just automaticaly buy into the idea that he submitted his own beliefs in that brief. Is that the main problem? What exactly has he done that has been so terrible, aside from that?

You can look at speeches and his exercise of prosecutorial discretion. IT's one thing to submit a brief in a case your AAG's are handling. It's another to bring a case yourself or act as an amicus to another state. Or speak publicly. Others have looked at this, and I do not, by posting it, mean to suggest anything other than it was the first thing handy to come up while googling the question. Draw your own conclusions as to his views and whether they concern you.
