During a recent appearance on Hannity, Stephen Miller sharply criticized Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, calling him a “moron” who “hates America.” Miller’s ire was directed at Pritzker’s opposition to the Trump administration’s anti-immigration and crime agenda, particularly the deployment of federal law enforcement.

During a recent interview, Stephen Miller alluded to the possibility of the Trump administration ignoring a federal judge’s order, hinting at the president’s supposed “plenary authority” under Title 10 of the US Code, a claim swiftly removed from the aired broadcast. The author disputes Miller’s assertion, emphasizing that plenary power, which Miller seemed to be suggesting, is synonymous with absolute and unchecked power, and such authority is not granted to the President under US law. Miller’s rhetoric, as exemplified in a speech, frames those opposed to the administration as enemies, setting the stage for a potential conflict. The piece concludes with a warning that Miller, as a key figure and ideologue, may pose a greater threat to democracy than Trump himself.

During a recent CNN interview, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller appeared to suggest President Trump possesses “plenary authority,” which implies the president’s power is essentially limitless. This comment, made while discussing the deployment of federal troops to cities, caused Miller to abruptly pause, and the interview was subsequently edited to remove the phrase. Legal experts note that “plenary authority” isn’t explicitly granted to the president under the US Code, and Judge Immergut previously ruled the president’s justifications for deploying troops were baseless. Some analysts suggest Miller’s statements reveal the administration’s view that Trump can unilaterally decide when to invoke emergency powers, and that this is an intentional strategy to polarize the public and consolidate power.
