Pictured: Stephen Miller is a right wing extremist like Bannon, only Miller is dumb. Tweety Twump praises Miller's ridiculous effort on Sunday TV, showing either he did not see it and does not know what Miller said, or he is also DUMB.
Miller attacks Judicial Review. "The President will not be questioned." What country is Miller in, Russia?
"Trump aide: ‘Powers of the president … will not be questioned’"

"We could emphasize that the president seems alarmingly unaware of the fact that refugees from the “suspect” countries have committed a combined grand total of zero terrorist attacks on American soil.
But let’s put that aside for now and instead focus on the fact that the sitting president of the United States has publicly declared the nation’s legal system is, in his eyes, “broken.”
We’ve had plenty of presidents who’ve lost important cases in the courts, but no modern chief executive has ever said anything along these lines.
A day later, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide, made the rounds on several Sunday shows, and further brought into question the Trump administration’s respect for the judiciary on an institutional level.
On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” for example, host John Dickerson asked Miller what Team Trump has learned in the wake of the legal setbacks. “The end result of this,” Miller replied, “is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.”"
If the 9th District Circuit Court judge asks the Justice Department attorneys for factual evidence of successful attacks on Americans by terrorists from the 7 travel ban countries, they had to provide it, right?
The Justice Department lawyers had no evidence because there is none.
So what is this "72" being spread around the media. It is a different interpretation of the acts, i.e., alternative facts. The judges did not want to see alternative facts and none were presented. "Period."
Pitiful. And Miller is sick when he says the President cannot be questioned. The media is catching on to the intent of Tweety to become an autocrat.
"Stephen Miller’s claim that 72 from banned countries were implicated in ‘terroristic activity’"

"“First of all, 72 individuals, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, have been implicated in terroristic activity in the United States who hail from those seven nations, point one.”
— White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Feb. 12, 2017
“We know there’s at least several dozen, perhaps many more than that, cases of terrorism from these countries that have happened in the United States in terms of terroristic plots, terroristic activity, material support for terrorism, supporting terrorism overseas, all different kinds of terroristic activity that’s been interdicted in the United States tracing back to these seven countries.”
— Miller, ABC’s “This Week,” Feb. 12
Miller earned Four Pinocchios for repeating debunked claims about voter fraud on the Sunday shows. But he made other problematic claims as well. In defending President Trump’s executive order on immigration, he said on the Sunday shows that dozens of people “have been implicated in terroristic activity,” including providing material support for terrorism.
Miller claimed this, despite the 9th Circuit Court panel’s ruling that “the Government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from any of the countries named in the Order has perpetrated a terrorist attack in the United States.” What is Miller talking about?
The Facts [Not alternative facts . . . ]
Miller is citing research by the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports lower levels of legal and illegal immigration. According to the center’s study, released Feb. 11, 72 people from the seven countries identified through the executive order have been “convicted in terror cases since the 9/11 attacks.” The seven countries are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
As we have documented before, the Trump administration compiled the list from countries previously identified by Congress and the Obama administration as potentially problematic if someone had traveled to them since 2011, but Trump then used the list to try to ban citizens of those countries from traveling to the United States.
The center found that 33 of the 72 people “were convicted of very serious terror-related crimes,” including conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, material support of a terrorist or terrorist group, and international money-laundering conspiracy.
On the list were the two Iraqi refugees in Bowling Green, Ky., who in 2011 were arrested and faced federal terrorism charges after it was discovered that, before becoming refugees, they had potentially targeted U.S. soldiers in Iraq. The revelation prompted the Obama administration to impose new, more extensive background checks on Iraqi refugees.
Other examples included:
Nima Yusuf, a native of Somalia, who pleaded guilty in 2011 to conspiring to provide material support to al-Shabab. In her plea agreement, she said she had worked to provide money and personnel for al-Shabab, knowing the group was designated as a foreign terrorist organization.
Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, a native of Somalia, who in 2011 pleaded guilty to a nine-count indictment charging him with providing material support to al-Shabab and al-Qaeda. The FBI’s announcement of Warsame’s guilty plea labeled him as “al Shabaab’s emissary to AQAP [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] and arranged for al Shabaab to purchase weapons directly from AQAP.”
Mohamad Mustapha Ali Masfaka, a native of Syria, who in 2010 was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to making false statements under oath in naturalization proceedings. Masfaka, a singer, was indicted on a charge of lying to federal officials about his involvement with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, a designated terrorist organization.
Manssor Arbabsiar, a native of Iran, who in 2013 was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to one count of murder for hire, one count of conspiracy to commit murder for hire and one count of conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. Arbabsiar participated in a plot to murder the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, along with members of Iran’s Quds Force, designated “as a terrorist supporter for providing material support to the Taliban and other terrorist organizations.”"
The Washington Post totally debunks Miller's alternative facts.
"The Pinocchio Test
Miller cited this research to say that several dozen people from the seven countries identified in the executive order were involved in “all different kinds of terroristic activity.” But upon closer examination of the cases on the list, it becomes clear that his statement went too far. In fact, this is pretty thin gruel on which to make sweeping claims about the alleged threat posed to the United States by these seven countries, especially because the allegations often did not concern alleged terrorist acts in the United States."
