Stephen Miller blurted out the words "plenary authority" and now

the Supreme Court can't use the word, or anything of the same meaning, or it will look like they are in communication with the White House and taking direction from them.

Stephen Miller accidentally blurted out that Trump had "plenary authority" on TV today.

They're going for full-scale dictatorship.
