Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, October 08, 2025

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.

"Plenary authority" is a legal term for a complete and absolute power to act on a particular issue, without limitations.

Of course Stephen Miller says that.

He sees Trump as his hand puppet.

As his tool to recreate America in his image.

I bet you that soulless pit fiend really wanted to say: "...the President has plenary planetary authority..."

CNN ran a thick cover for Miller, who realized very quickly he should not have said what he said. That's why HE glitched out, nothing technical about it.

The anchor should have pushed him but instead played it off with an apology for technical difficulties.----- in' cowards at CNN.
