If Clinton signed DOMA into law for purely political reasons, he clearly had a decent handle on the law, even if he showed boundless contempt for it in his impeachment proceeding.

Said Clinton about DOMA --- "I have long opposed governmental recognition of same-gender marriages and this legislation is consistent with that position. The Act confirms the right of each state to determine its own policy with respect to same gender marriage and clarifies for purposes of federal law the operative meaning of the terms "marriage" and "spouse"."

Bill Clinton fairly blazes like a knight in shinning armor compared to present day liberal monstrosities that tread today's nightmarish political landscape.

Clinton will do anything for political gain. I've been studying a lot on him lately and find it interesting how he came across more moderate and even somewhat conservative in the late 80's and early 90's when he made his big run. The group called the "new democrats" formed when Bush I was elected and set out to make a better impression on conservative voters back then. Clinton was one of the main people behind that group.
