Stephen Miller's "America First Legal" is more dangerous than you think

https://www.publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller-america-first-legal-explained

Miller is a clown. But his organization is racking up wins advancing a deeply reactionary agenda.

Snip... Stephen Miller...also helms a hard-right law firm that is bent on eradicating any and all diversity efforts, everywhere from NASCAR to law schools.

You can think of Miller’s “America First Legal” (AFL) firm as sort of a low-rent version of the longtime conservative law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Where ADF knows enough to present a professional facade while trying to eradicate abortion, enshrining into law bigotry against LGBTQ people, and undermining public health efforts in the middle of a pandemic, AFL displays no such restraint.

Snip...Miller has a whole host of judges who share his views, and America First Legal keeps racking up wins.

Miller founded AFL in 2021, shortly after President Biden took office. The other high-profile Trumpland denizens associated with the organization at its founding were not exactly people of unimpeachable character. Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff, currently has a tangled litigation situation of his own. He faces criminal charges in Georgia for his participation in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election while at the same time getting immunity in the DC election interference case, having testified to the grand jury that “obviously, we didn’t win.” (That latter testimony has created a new legal problem for Meadows, who is now being sued by his publisher because his book, “The Chief’s Chief,” has at its core the key claim that the election was stolen, which is contradicted by his grand jury testimony.)

His uncle detests him, but I never hear about his parents and the rest of his family...

"You will not deny the powers of this President." He was referring to locking kids in cages. Cruelty is the point after all every time.

...figures out end run evil s**t by the boat loads. Trump can't barely keep his zipper up and hair combed over so Miller/Trump was less of a threat. It was what worried me if the first Trump impeachment had been successful.
