Someone should ask the bleeping judge if he would tolerate one iota of Acosta’s conduct before him (the judge) in the courtroom. OF COURSE he would not, judges are notoriously trigger-happy in citations for contempt, ejections from the courtroom etc. No POTUS should be (legally) required to have an Acosta-type disrupting White House events.
The administration did NOT argue against Acosta’s conduct. It argued on first amendment grounds.
