Miller Says “Jurisprudence,” Newsom Thinks It’s a Band
In a recent Fox News interview, Stephen Miller used the term “jurisprudence” to describe the legal implications of federal immigration enforcement. Gavin Newsom, watching from his office while drinking vegan horchata, reportedly gasped and asked, “Is that the new post-punk band from Portland?”
An aide explained it was a legal term. Newsom replied, “Still sounds like white supremacy.”
Later that day, the governor tweeted: “Jurisprudence is just a fancy way of saying ‘I’m afraid of diversity.’” The tweet was deleted after someone informed him that the term appears in the California State Constitution—which he’s reportedly never read because it’s “too cis-structured.”
Miller, amused, responded in Latin, prompting Gavin to hold a press conference demanding all legal terms be translated into “non-binary affirmations.”
Newsom’s new policy proposal: replace the word jurisprudence in all legal briefs with “feeling-based disagreement resolution.”
Meanwhile, UC Berkeley students held a candlelight vigil for those emotionally wounded by Miller’s vocabulary.
SAT prep companies are now considering dropping “jurisprudence” from practice tests, citing trauma concerns among California high schoolers.
Legal scholars nationwide are reportedly holding an intervention for California, to be led by Judge Judy and a dictionary.
As one Sacramento insider noted, “Miller has books. Newsom has vibes. The courts may not care about vibes.”
In summary: Stephen Miller cites case law. Gavin Newsom calls it a microaggression.
