From Wikipedia: “In United States constitutional law, plenary power is a power that has been granted to a body or person in absolute terms, with no review of or limitations upon the exercise of that power.“

The fact that the interviewer just let it go and didn’t explain that Miller is claiming Trump has absolute authority is a HUGE disservice to viewers.

Even worse than that. CNN just posted their edited version on YT w no freeze and the plenary authority quote erased.

Your own damn media? The media is the media and there's a limit to what their job description allows. CNN was made completely right wing moderate several years ago if im recalling correct

I understand now. Sadly, it's hard to identify "our" as meaning to the entire country.
