STEPHEN MILLER INFAMOUS HATER AND EVIL POLICY DEVELOPER FOR TRUMP
Stephen Miller, the infamous hater and evil policy developer in chief for former President Donald Trump, is back in the news. This time, he's threatening to sue 200 law schools across the country if they don't comply with the Supreme Court's ruling on affirmative action in college admissions. Oh, Stephen, always the life of the party.
For those of you who don't know who Stephen Miller is, let me give you a quick rundown. He's like a Disney villain come to life, with a face that looks like it's been chiseled out of granite and a personality that's about as warm as a Siberian winter. He's the kind of guy who would steal candy from a baby and then tell the baby it deserved it because it wasn't working hard enough. In other words, he's a real charmer.
But back to his latest shenanigans. Apparently, Miller thinks that affirmative action is "illegal racial discrimination." Yes, you read that right. The guy who worked for a president who was accused of being a racist on multiple occasions is now lecturing law schools about discrimination. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Miller's letter to the law schools is a masterpiece of passive-aggressive threats. He warns them not to "violate, circumvent, bypass, subvert or otherwise program around" the Supreme Court's ruling on affirmative action. I don't know about you, but when someone tells me not to "program around" something, I feel like I'm in a bad sci-fi movie where the robots have taken over.
But wait, it gets better. Miller also says that his organization, America First Legal (which sounds like a discount store for patriotic merchandise), is "ready to take them to court" and "hold them to account" if they don't obey the court's decision. I can just picture Miller sitting in his office, rubbing his hands together and cackling like a Disney villain (which, let's be honest, is probably what he does all day).
Of course, Miller's letter has been met with outrage from many quarters. Some have accused him of trying to intimidate law schools into abandoning their commitment to diversity and inclusion. Others have pointed out that his argument against affirmative action is based on flawed logic and cherry-picked data. But I think we're all missing the real issue here: Stephen Miller is just not a fun guy.
I mean, can you imagine going to a party with him? You'd be trying to enjoy your drink and chat with your friends, and he'd be in the corner, muttering about how immigrants are ruining America and how affirmative action is reverse racism. It would be like having a dark cloud hanging over the whole evening.
So, in conclusion, Stephen Miller is still a hater, still an evil policy developer in chief, and still not someone you'd want to invite to your birthday party. But hey, at least he's consistent.

THE DEFT DIVE
Stephen Miller is a former White House adviser who served under President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2021. He is now the president of **America First Legal**, a nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative causes⁴⁵.
He has recently sent a letter to the deans of **200 law schools** across the country, threatening to sue them if they do not comply with the Supreme Court's ruling on **affirmative action** in college admissions⁴⁵⁶. The ruling, issued last week, invalidated the admissions practices at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which considered race as a factor in selecting students. The court said that such practices violated the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection⁵.
Miller claimed that affirmative action was "illegal racial discrimination" and warned the law schools not to "violate, circumvent, bypass, subvert or otherwise program around" the ruling⁴⁵. He said that his organization was ready to "take them to court" and "hold them to account" if they did not obey the court's decision⁴⁵.
Affirmative action policies emerged after the civil rights movement of the 1960s, aiming to increase educational opportunities for Black and Latino students. The policies incited accusations of "reverse racism" from white Americans, and in recent years, conservatives have argued that affirmative action unfairly disadvantaged Asian American college applicants. Asian American students' claims were the basis for both of the cases that led the Supreme Court to declare affirmative action programs in colleges unconstitutional⁴.
