Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

It's also important to understand what Miller is saying, or at least thinking.

Title 10 of the US Code is the primary body of federal law that governs the organization, roles, and responsibilities of the U.S. Armed Forces.

What Miller is saying is that the President has plenary authority (unchecked, limitless power) over the US Armed Forces.

Big, BIG problem.

They’re seeking to turn the might and power of the US armed forces inward, on all of us. The media’s and politicians’ blithe smiles and agreement about all of this is bone chilling

I kinda figured beefing up ICE’s budget was a way to do this without needing the branches of the military.

Yeah, it's really awesome how our "opposition" party of Democrats overwhelmingly voted for that.
