As I Was Saying…

HEMMER: Is Gitmo sill open?

STEPHEN MILLER: It's wide open

HEMMER: Can you tell me how many immigrants are there?

STEPHEN MILLER: No, I cannot. That's operationally sensitive information. But I want to be very clear. We've been living through a hoax. Nobody has been mistakenly sent to El Salvador.
I want the DOJ to take up Miller’s “arguments” in open court.

Miller can say fuck-all. He’s got a First Amendment right to be venal and stupid in public. I won’t begrudge him exercising it.

But I won’t take it as anything but stupid until a court upholds it. And a 9-0 Supreme Court just refused to, so…

(Oh, and courts can get read in on “operationally sensitive information” in the course of a hearing or trial. That’s not the magic shield the administration imagines it is.)
