Why are the Republicans upset over the Miers nomination?

Steven M. Teles provides an explanation. His explanation also provides an interesting insight into the changes in the American political system since the 70's.

Look at his explanation for the two wings, electoral and non-electoral, of both the Republican and Democratic Parties. Explains why the two wings of the Democratic Party have become de-coupled.

I see nothing in the analysis that suggests the de-coupling is permanent.
