White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller just delivered an absolute masterclass in constitutional law, completely shredding CNN’s Kasie Hunt in a heated exchange over President Trump’s authority to repel foreign threats.
And let’s be clear—this wasn’t just a debate. This was complete destruction.
CNN’s Kasie Hunt Walks Into a Trap
As expected, Hunt tried to push the fake news narrative that a single district court judge has the power to override the Commander-in-Chief’s authority to protect the nation.
Miller wasn’t having it. Armed with actual knowledge of the law, he systematically dismantled Hunt’s weak argument by citing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a law passed by the Founding Fathers explicitly giving the President authority to repel foreign threats—without interference from activist judges.
“The President of the United States and his administration reserve all rights under the Constitution to conduct national security operations in defense of the United States,” Miller said.
“The Alien Enemies Act, which was passed into law by men like John Adams, was written explicitly to give the President the authority to repel an alien invasion of the United States.”
“You can read the law yourself. There’s not one clause in that law that makes it subject to judicial review, let alone district court review.”
Hunt Gets Destroyed on Live TV
Instead of admitting defeat, Hunt dug in deeper, trying to lecture Miller about the separation of powers and asking if the administration thinks it’s “above the courts.”
Miller’s response? Pure gold.
“The judiciary interfering in the executive function is not separation of powers—it’s a violation of it,” Miller shot back.
And when Hunt desperately tried to change the subject by asking if Venezuela was really “invading” the U.S., Miller turned the tables on her with a devastating counter-question:
“Can a district court judge enjoin troop movements overseas? Yes or no?”
Hunt froze, refused to answer, and got completely exposed.
The Final Blow
Miller ended the debate with a brutal fact-check:
“These same district court judges didn’t issue any injunctions to stop Joe Biden from flooding this nation with millions of illegal aliens.”
Kasie Hunt came looking for a fight—and left completely wrecked. Another W for Trump’s team.
