White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller took CNN anchor Pamela Brown to school when she tried to corner him on what he said were “rogue” judges.
It happened after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could revoke the protected status of a certain group of Venezuelans, Cubans and Haitians and begin deporting them.
Brown said that it was a judicial victory for the president and wondered how Miller could accuse the judiciary of overstepping when the decisions do not favor the administration.
“I want to go to what is a big win today for the administration from the Supreme Court. I mean, it handed you all a win on ending deportation protections for a certain group of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. So you have these wins. I think it was the second one on this particular issue just in the last few weeks. Yet even just yesterday, we saw whenever a judge rules against this administration, you say they’re going rogue. Do you think a judge should just rubber stamp what your White House does? If not, what checks and balances should be in place?” the anchor said.
“It is not the job of a district court judge to perform an individual green-light or red-light on every single policy the president takes as the head of the executive branch. Just think about the premise baked into your question. You’re saying that when the American people elect a President of the United States of America …, he said before Brown attempted to interrupt him.
“When you have these kinds of lazy assumptions built into questions, it makes it hard to have constructive dialogue. You said, ‘Is it my expectation…?’ It’s not just you, it’s the whole media…
“When you say, ‘Do we think district court judges should rubber-stamp each action,’ there is a premise that is built into that that is absurd. The president is the sole head of the executive branch. He’s the only officer in the entire government that is elected by the entire American people,” Miller said.
“Democracy cannot function—in fact, democracy does not exist at all—if each action the president takes: foreign policy, diplomatic, military, national security, has to be individually approved by 700 district court judges. That’s democracy?” the deputy chief of staff said.
“So if there’s 15 communist, crazy judges on the court, that each of them as a team working together can block and freeze each and every executive action? Joe Biden was allowed by that same court system 20 million illegal foreigners into this country,” he said.
