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."

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.
