If the President or Sanders calls on him again they're fools.

I agree.   But this isn't a perfect (my idea of one, anyway...lol) world.

Exactly.   And the other journalists.... the ones that did NOT act like complete jackazzes... know who to blame for these new rules/consequences.  That's justice.
The problem is that most of the journalists have explicitly backed Acosta. So, if he deserved to lose his press pass, they all should. It's just as well anyway. The press briefing is a waste of time at this point. Nobody gains anything from it, just a chance to harass the poor sap they throw out there.

We'll have to see about that.  The vast majority in the gaggle where Accostya showed his ass think he's a god.

It is a ridiculous ruling, but I agree that if Acosta is in the room, just don't call on him. Before any press briefing, they should announce that anyone causing a disruption will be removed. So if Jimbo throws a tantrum because he's not getting called on, show him the door.

Trump and co. are writing a whole set of rules. 

The Judge pretty much told them exactly what they need to be.  I can see how this is going to go:  Accostya will be there, and will start shouting at the top of his lungs without the mic.  The rest of the gaggle will applaud him (he is their idol), for a while at least, all the while Sarah's people will be documenting him so next time the pull a Press Pass, it will stick. 

Oh, and the President has already said in an interview he'll close the Presser and walk away.  Let the gaggle suffer, so much the better.

Ah, good to hear. I think that's the right approach (I haven't had a chance yet to read the ruling or any coverage of it).

If Acosta can't act like a grownup ...

Then he's in good company with the President.  :laugh:

Seriously, Acosta was way out of line. Since Watergate, many journalists have become quite self-important and have forgotten their role.

They have become lying, leftist propagandists..... ready and willing to do or say ANYTHING they deem necessary in order to promote their leftist agenda.  The name Dan Rather comes immediately to mind.

Trump’s answer to Chris Wallace for this Sunday’s show on Fox was great. If he gets outta hand, Trump will just say Thank you everyone” and walk out. Self policing, as someone said earlier, is the best medicine.

The Senate needs to keep confirming judges and the WH needs to keep taking this kind of stuff to the SCOTUS as a matter of strategy against the Dems.

The name "Cronkite" comes to my mind, but I think I'm older than you a bit.

He could also do this 180 degrees different.
He could only call on Acosta, annoying the other members of the media, to the point that they police him themselves.

Wadya think?

Too much media group think among the WH press corps for that to happen.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I think it was due to a case back in 1977 setting a precedent.

That’s the case I was trying to remember.  Thanks for posting the link.

Although I'm not a fan of Trump, I would fully support his open defiance of this court order.

Yep. This deserves a prompt and vocal KMA.

With all due respect, it’s not ridiculous, and it’s based on long-standing precedent.

Does anyone know how the judge linked this to the First Amendment? I'd love to hear it.

@skeeter

The judge's ruling ie based on Amendment V Due Process, not Amendment I.  Which explains why it is temporary.  All it says is that the Executive must have a process in place for revoking a press pass.

Since there is already precedent in place (Helen Thomas and the Obama Administration), it should not be difficult to match the actions of the previous administration in revoking the pass.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

If the court agreed with you, it would have found on the First Amendment.  It did not, so one could say "This question never went to court."
