If the reporters would stop with the “Gotcha” questions and stop Grandstanding, press conferences would be more informative but they hate President Trump and his administration so the war will continue. If things get out-of-hand, just stop the press conference and walk away.
The courts have absolutely no say in this matter.
There is no law that requires the Executive Branch to accommodate the media on the grounds of the White House.
Not ONE.
It is a privilege built on tradition and the relationship is supposed to help both the Executive Branch and the media get their messages out.
The privilege is being abused and Trump was right to kick Acosta to the curb.
Trump needs to fire his lawyers for leading him down the litigation rabbit hole, and in the process form a new layer of extra-legal precedents that should not be.
The video was not altered. I happened to see the event in real time and thought the Secret Service would rush in and throw him out when he pushed away the woman.
Judge Kelly is wrong. A press pass is a privilege, not a right.
Yes, we did see it live. Yes, it did happen. Yes, Asscosta is every bit as rude as Trump says he is.
Trump and Sarah shouldn’t call on anyone from CNN after this. They shouldn’t call on anyone sitting within 6 chairs of Asscosta. Make him a pariah. If he starts screaming about it, and he will, give him one warning. If he still screams, and he will, have him escorted out by a cute little female minority intern. If he touches her, and he will, BAM! he and CNN are finished forever.
Trump has twitter.
Congress shall make no law...
The founding fathers were brilliant making three separate branches of government. Who’s this little pipsqueak judge to say who POTUS invites into the WH?
The pipsqueak judge was appointed by Trump. I want to know who keeps giving him bad advice.
Getting closer ... Actually, the real deep state are the financial/media conglomerates who set the leftist agenda and control politicians and bureaucrats. It's sort of amazing that at a so-called conservative forum, people seem to be ignorant of Jefferson's warning(s):

We are witnessing firsthand the very fruition of what the founders' warned about. By diluting the vote and expanding the franchise, the satanic conglomerates can influence LIVs, and then engage in actual vote fraud by controlling the resulting media narrative to where they are the victims.
Just leak a draft executive order giving press access to in camera judicial conferences. If the judges can tell the executive who can and can’t get into restricted spaces, then the executive should be able to do the same to the judiciary.
And if someone can be held in Contempt of Court and Contempt of Congress, they should be able to be held in Contempt of the President.
Reporters report the facts.
Journalists are nothing but little 12 year old girls who write their imagined version of their lives in their diaries.
Dear Diary, Trump was sooooo mean to me today!!!!! He kicked me out of the press room. How could he?!? He’s such a big meanie!!!!!! Just watch, I’m going to get him good. Signed, Jimmy.
Wrong. Now the adherence to the rules will be challenged.
The best thing to do is not play the “let’s challenge every exec decision in court to slow things down” game.
They should’ve told the court to go f themselves.
“If Acosta misbehaves—don’t call on him”
Whoever thinks that certainly has not watched various press meetings where Acosta is bellowing & interrupting other reporters. He is totally out of control.
Don’t CALL ON HIM ???
There are many video clips of him yelling out when he has NOT been called on.
Acosta needs a permanent time out.
He would be thrown off my property if not worse.
When the lame stream fake news media ask questions meant to reinforce a narrative or hurl a slur, such as:
-When did you stop beating your wife.
-When Abby Phillip is asking a “stupid question,” such as asking whether he wanted acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to rein in the Russia collusion delusion.
-And Yamiche Alcindor of “PBS NewsHour” asks a “racist question” such as “nationalist” = white nationalism.
Then, you have every right to call out that nonsense and scold the person asking the question.
Let the reporters pick a number out of a hat when they enter the room. Sarah/Trump can have a list of the numbers and just call a number. Give them 2 questions each and move on.
I was thinking two mics. When a reporter asks his/her question cut their mic and hand mic two to another reporter.
That’s an excellent remedy.
Judge Kelly didn’t have a choice. District of Columbia Appeals Court in 1977 decision, Sherrill v. H Knight, made it the only correct decision for that District Court judge.
yeah, we watched it live too ... it’s almost beyond belief that the media keeps repeating what they know is patently false ... we’ve finally moved into true “1984” territory in which the Ministry of Truth has promulgated so much fake news that no one knows what to believe anymore and therefore the media feels that they are now in a position to convince a large percentage of the population that stuff that we can verify with their own eyes is actually false ...
The President, and the Executive branch, are not part of Congress.
They can make any regulation they want.
Rile #1. Stand on one leg, quack like a Duck, pat the top of your head and rub your Tummy at the same time and the POTUS may call on you.
