White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller called out Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts Monday, accusing the two of "cav[ing] to the radical left" by ruling in favor of a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted even if they are received after Election Day. "Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett decided to cave to the radical left.[Justice] Alito was so clear in his wording about what Election Day means.
Nobody could read the statute, could read that opinion, could read what Alito wrote and come to any other conclusion," he told "The Ingraham Angle.""It's Election Day, not election week, not election month, not election months.So this was really a travesty, and it underscores why we have to keep fighting to pass the SAVE America Act."SUPREME COURT RULES ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS RECEIVED AFTER ELECTION DAYWhite House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller speaks the daily press briefing in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on May 1, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
