That line is going to look a lot worse when California courts tell Gavin Newsome to cut it out.

But to back off the unequal rights amendment now would be a pretty clear reversal, with no real justification except having received a tepid public response when a roar of approval was expected.
It doesn't work to get his religious-right base worked up if he doesn't push it. If Bush says nothing and expresses regret in a few months, he loses both ways -- with his base, for throwing them a pretty bare bone, and with independents and young voters, for doing something reactionary.
