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
LOL. Miers as the scholarly devil, the "Church Lady" to the left.
It's hilarious, considering most of them have marketed their wares on such topics as Ten Commandments, culture of death (that one still makes me wince), God.
They wanted a "fight" because it's good for business.
