Donald Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller was raked over the coals late Thursday for what longtime conservative columnist Ed Whelan called his "brazen" Fox News appearance where he attempted to misrepresent a Supreme Court ruling on the return of deported Maryland dad Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
In his column for the National Review, Whelan broke down Miller's rambling attempt to defend the administration's decision to blow off a unanimous ruling from the conservative court for the DOH to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia, with what the conservative critic called "delusional" reasoning.
As Whelan sees it, Miller "stooped to a new low" as he tried to defend the indefensible when it comes to denying someone living in the U.S. due process.

"This isn’t complicated stuff. The Court’s order (not including the separate statement of Justice Sotomayor) is three paragraphs long, and the operative portion (from which I draw all of my quotations) is one paragraph long. The Trump administration lost unanimously," he wrote before adding that the Trump advisor began, "First, we won the Supreme Court case. Clearly. Nine-zero," to which Whelan responded, "Nope, you lost. Unanimously."
After writing that Miller only delivered, "More delusional fantasizing about what the court actually ordered," the conservative pointed out that the Trump administration is headed for a fall by writing: "If the White House is going to refuse to accept and abide by its losses on emergency applications, the Supreme Court might well decide to summarily reject those applications."
