I looked up what Miers wrote. Yeah, only a simple person could write this stilted prose:

The same liberties that ensure a free society make the innocent vulnerable to those who prevent rights and privileges and commit senseless and cruel acts. Those precious liberties include free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of liberties, access to public places, the right to bear arms and freedom from constant surveillance. We are not willing to sacrifice these rights because of the acts of maniacs.

She is SOOO unsophisticated. We MUST give up our liberties to protect ourselves from the maniacs. She's a anachronism, a throwback. Lord help us! She might even believe that interstate commerce should involve commerce and interstate movement! We're DOOMED!

I do like the fact that she wrote that as part of an article on the Texas Bell Tower massacre. That would have been a time when it would have been easy to be swayed by emotion. It sounds like she was not swayed.

She would not have been my first pick but she might turn out to be a good one.

The more I learn about her the better she does sound.
