Frist is supposedly a conservative, or at the least he proclaims that he is, and the point (these points seem to fly right by you btw) is: What happened to the strong belief in states rights, a belief that is contradicted by the demogaugic promotion of this constitutional amendment on a heterosexual connotation of marriage.

You're suggesting that Frist's position is inconsistent. It's not. He's supporting an amendment which would prevent one state from imposing its definition of marriage on the other 49 states. He's supporting the right of each state to decide whether it will allow gay marriage. That, after all, is what the amendment would do -- leave it up to each state to decide.
