In reply to the discussion: Stephen Miller says Trump administration is 'actively looking at' suspending habeas corpus [View all]hlthe2b
(110,342 posts)19. I'm going to do a separate thread on Miller, who I think many underestimate how dangerous he is...
This 2018 article from his retired neuropsychologist uncle on his mother's side is very revealing. Miller is the Jewish descendant of those escaping the anti-Jewish pogroms of what is now Belarus. He comes from wealth and atypical conservatism in a far more liberal section of southern California. His nastiness was already in full display in high school and he was mentored by none other than the recently deceased (crickets) David Horowitz at Duke University.
Here's a couple of comments/questions posed to him from his PBS Frontline interview:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interview/david-glosser/
… So he goes to Duke University. His connection to David Horowitz becomes an important thing for him. He calls him sort of a mentor. And he goes to Duke, and he sort of establishes a group which is based on Horowitz’s request to conservatives around the country, students, to form these groups, taught to rebel against the liberal establishment in the universities and to push issues such as their rights to debate the issues that they feel strongly about. Do you know much about or anything about his history? What did you hear about his endeavors at Duke, which include his going after liberal professors, his blaming 9/11 on unenforced immigration, his saying that the worshipping of multicultur[al]ism was the downfall of the United States?
(Worth reading that entire interview)

So anyone want to argue with me (again) that Miller is not more President than Trump on these issues?

I wonder who at Heritage Foundation is Millers ear worm? Was it his parents that instilled such hate?

If habeas corpus is suspended, can true patriots take Miller into custody as an invading Russian agent?
