They tend to think that the law works like magic. Say the right words or do things in the exact right way and *POOF* the law does what you want. They do this by mixing various bits of law from various, generally unrelated sources (like trying to apply things in the Magna Carta to US Law), as well as redefining words from their intended meaning by using extra-legal sources for their definitions (i.e. legal dictionaries) to get them to say what they want. The latter is where you get statements like “I’m not driving, I’m travelling!” from.
