I gather she explained that remark that since she was serving on an apellate court the decisions handed down sometimes do affect legislation, e.g., if the Supreme court or other apellate court declares some legislation to be invalid then it does "affect legislation". No other court has this power but simply declares guilt or innocence.

I actually wrote to the President and suggested that he find a smart woman storefront lawyer. All those Harvard and Yale grads in SCOTUS have about as much idea of what you and I put up with as does the man in the moon.

As Dorothy Parker once wrote "You can always tell a Harvard man, you just can't tell him very much.". Perhaps as a non-grad I may be predjudiced.
