That ties in with one of the quotes Coulter made earlier this week, which illustrates DtP's point pretty well:
Being on the Supreme Court isn't like winning a "Best Employee of the Month" award. It's a real job.
Dennis: the idea that a real good lawyer who passed on the whole academic and judgeship routine to practice in the Real World can end up on the Supreme Court isn’t one that invokes much horror in those who inhabit said Real World.
That would be the "normal Americans" Coulter referred to, who (according to her) believe the devil is abstract, unlike the elite grads who deal with the devil every day.

I wonder how much of the devil she leaves out of her books? And how she gauges the level of abstraction her readers can handle? :-)
I understand the abstraction part now. Miers is the scholarly devil. She's everything the conservative pundit class has been screaming for, the "Church Lady" as Maher called her. The abstraction is the scholarly pundits didn"t really want church lady. All along when they were talking about the "culture of death", keeping God in schools and the Ten Commandments in the Courts. They were just pandering to the fundies who buy their books. Now they're afraid Miers will actually quote them in her legal opinions saying privacy doesn't exist in the Constitution or the "culture of death" really is responsible. Oh my. LOL
