“CNN asked Miller whether the Trump Administration will abide by a district judge’s order blocking the Guard’s deployment in Oregon. “Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit,” Miller began. “I would note the Administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard.”
“Then, Miller said: “Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before making an abrupt stop. Miller blinked several times, with anchor Boris Sanchez calling out his name, though he still did not respond.”
“Stephen, I apologize. It seems like we’re having a technical issue,” Sanchez said, before the show cut to a break, and resumed after with Sanchez saying some “wires got crossed.” The interview with Miller continued, but neither Sanchez nor Miller brought up “plenary authority” again. CNN did not immediately respond when asked by TIME for comment on what exactly the technical issue was.

It’s not “the quiet part out loud” anymore, they’ve been shouting their intentions and goals in our faces for years. But somehow people are still surprised lol.

The word controversy implies there are multiiple sides of a subjective interpretation. Words mean what they mean.

ah yes, his remarks spark controversy. I shall file this amongst the plethora of other things said that will also not amount to any type of change.

Stephen Miller reminds me of that yellow dude from Sin City. You just know he’s this pathetic tiny little man, with a tiny mangled little penis and he’s SO angry at the world for it all.

If yoy support this regime, then you support war on your own people. You may want to rethink that support. You will lose.

What he said is not controversial; it’s pretty unsurprising really. What’s controversial is CNN letting him do a retake without the comment for their YouTube site.

I think it was an intentional trial balloon and lays the groundwork for the public to understand what it means.
