Judge orders Trump administration to restore CNN reporter Jim Acosta's White House press pass -

A federal judge on Friday grants CNN's request for a court order that would temporarily reinstate network correspondent Jim Acosta's White House press pass.

CNN's legal challenge comes in response to the Trump administration's decision last week to yank Acosta's "hard pass," which gave him access to the White House grounds, after Acosta clashed with the president at a news conference earlier that day.

CNN's lawsuit underscores Trump's increasingly hostile relationship with many mainstream media outlets, which he regularly decries as "fake news" and "the enemy of the people."

Ridiculous.

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

BTW Trump appointed him.

[HoustonSam]

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

[aligncare]

Not to worry. If necessary the WH will take this all the way to the Supremes. CNN will not prevail.

Fully agree.

Easy fix though.  (1) Give him his pass (2) Give him his seat.  (3) Sanders/Trump never calls on him.  (4) When he gets loud and disruptive, have security remove him and take his pass (5) Make Acosta go through court to re-secure it.

(Repeat 1-5)
Rinse-spin-repeat

Just make sure he gets a seat in the back row and ignore him. That will burn him even more.

“I’m not a fan of Trump...” 

Some signalers just can’t adapt.

Shut down the whole WH press corp until CNN replaces Acosta.

According to Wiki (for what its worth) the judges order is temporary pending trial.

Even better.  Make Acosta and his attorney sit in an courtroom with his attorney 30 hours a week.  Forever.

[Sighlass]

The ruling from Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed by Trump, was the first victory for CNN in the ongoing case.

Only the best, I can't believe this idiot judge does not allow the president and his staff to revoke (spell?) whomever they please.

Yes, if only the patriots who voted for Trump had listened to you, America would be a much better place. Yes, sarcasm.

[austingirl]

  Absurd ruling.

[Cyber Liberty]

Let him in while this percolates through the courts.  But never let him have the mic.  If he just grabs it again, shut the mic off and declare the Presser over.  That screws the whole Press gallery.  There is more than one way to skin a cat.

I like this one.
This would turn the press against Acosta

Translated:

(1) You get your stinkin' pass back
(2) The Acosta rule will be written. (a) We will never call on your ass. (b) If you remotely disturb the presser, we'll haul your ass out.

Shut down the whole WH press corp until CNN replaces Acosta.

Exactly. The daily presser is NOT mandatory, or under any jurisdiction. Sanders could simply call in sick, and say that she just didn't feel like it. There is no imperative to have one every day. They could easily just shut the whole thing down. Then what will the Judge order? Will he 'order' a press conference be held every day? Will he 'order' that they must call on Acosta? What would the Judge do then? Interesting question.

I think the Judge was just covering his butt. He knows he can make this so called 'order' and save himself a lot of pain and grief from the Left. He also knows that it is meaningless and that it will result in nothing.

You forgot to show your III tattoo and say ‘Murica!’


Hey, this sarc thing is fun.

Yeah, I think this is the line in the sand.  Does the judiciary make the rules or interpret the rules.  Because if it is the latter, this ruling isn't legitimate.

Does this judge also realize the precedent and can of worms he's unleashed on society in general?

Disruptors now have more rights in venues, meetings, hearings, etc., than sane bystanders.

I don't know.  They seem so impressed with their power and infallibility that they don't have to think much.

[Elderberry]

@skeeter

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

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?
