Stephen Miller says judges blocking Elon Musk are acting unconstitutionally
Stephen Miller recently stopped by a broadcast of "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News channel.
While there, he spoke a little bit about the fight Elon Musk is in against the "radical left" judges who have blocked the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing federal payment systems.
According to Breitbart, Stephen Miller claimed that the judges who have blocked DOGE from accessing the federal payment systems were acting "unconstitutional."
Reuters reports that on February 8, a federal judge "temporarily blocked billionaire Elon Musk's government efficiency team from accessing government systems used to process trillions of dollars in payments, citing a risk that sensitive information could be improperly disclosed."
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff did NOT agree with that decision.
"So, as you’re aware, a radical left judge said that the Secretary of the Treasury cannot access the Treasury computer system. This isn’t just unconstitutional. That ruling is an assault on the very idea of democracy itself," Miller said on Fox News.
"Whether it be with the Treasury bureaucrats or the FBI bureaucrats or the CIA bureaucrats or the USAID bureaucrats, with this unelected shadow force that is running our government and running our country," he continued.
"Donald Trump is engaging in the most important restoration of democracy in over a century by saying that we are going to restore power to the people through their elected president and his appointed officers."
Miller continued, "That is the only way we can have true democracy in this country."
He concluded by calling the block the "nonsense" of "rogue, unelected, unaccountable, and previously unfireable bureaucrats."
Miller was referring to an order issued by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan.
Engelmayer made the decision after a coalition of Democratic attorneys general from 19 states filed a lawsuit arguing that Musk's DOGE should have no right to access America's Department of Treasury systems.
"But this nonsense where we have rogue, unelected, unaccountable, and previously unfireable bureaucrats who do whatever the hell they want with no one telling them and no one controlling them, we’re not going to let that happen anymore," Miller said.
