Judge Who Restored Acosta’s Press Pass Should Be Impeached Because He Doesn’t Know The Constitution
DC Dirty Laundry ^ | 11/18/2018 | Tim Brown

Posted on 11/18/2018 5:01:09 PM PST by deandg99

Federal Judge Timothy J. Kelly, a Trump-appointed judge, ruled that the White House had to restore CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press pass because it potentially violated “due process” of law, and since no crime was committed and no charges have been filed, I believe that Judge Kelly has no idea of what due process is nor what the Constitution states about it and should be impeached.

...

Kelly went on to state, “The opportunity to be heard seems especially important in this case. The government must provide Mr. Acosta due process if it is to revoke his hard pass.”

...

No choice? Apply precedent? How about applying the Constitution, Mr. Kelly? No criminal charges were filed. No crime was alleged. Due process, under our Constitution, is about the violation of law and charges that go with that!

For some reason, I can't drag and drop the web address, but legalinsurrection.com has a piece at the top of the page that would be worth it's own thread if someone wouldn't mind doing posting it.

here's a teaser....

Acosta got his press pass back, but his media colleagues will pay the price

Marc Lotter:

I think, long term, it’s a win for the White House and actually for future presidents, because this was a very tailored decision that wasn’t related around the First Amendment and unrestricted access to the White House, but on a due process side.

And the president today and Press Secretary Sarah Sanders have indicated they’re going to developing procedures and protocols to be followed. And then that will give them the future ability to take necessary actions if decorum and procedures are broken.

Visiting the White House is by invitation. No one is owed an invitation.

Folks, this decision is a GOOD DECISION made by a GOOD JUDGE who is faithfully FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION. Time will show you this will benefit the Trump White House tremendously. It will have the White House laying out the required standards of behavior by accredited members of the WhiteHouse press corps, penalties for violating those standards and PROCEDURES for implementing those penalties.

When fully in effect, decorum will return to the White House press conferences. Ironically, Trump will, in a real sense, owe that return of decorum to Acosta. It will be sweet to see Trump rub that into Acosta’s face.

Is he implying that other Federal judges know the Constitution?

I agree. In the short term this feels like a loss but in the long run it will be a major win for all Administrations. Normally professional groups would police their own but since journalism is no longer a profession; this no longer applies. Instead of journalists they are all posers who are actually activists. Most are leftist activists.

Okay, maybe there a few real journalists left, but they are so few it’s difficult to find them. Bill Hemmer on Fox News in the morning is just about the only one I’ve seen who plays it down the middle without bias either way. I don’t know if he is like this in real life but on camera he does a good job.

I concur.

No jurist should give this farce the patina of legitimacy.

It will set yet another precedent for frivolous lawsuits against a duly-elected President, and for allowing a jurist to preside over that administration without legitimate authority.

Celebrate what you like. I will not be celebrating this - no matter what the outcome!

All of them get press passes now.

The Judge ruled that they could not ban Assclown because they allow Journalist in the WH. So based on his “legal” logic all Journalists who want one have to be given a White House Press Pass. I suggest Al Jezzira, the Theran Daily news and Russia Today file lawsuits demanding access based on this “ruling”

Gutless Judicial coward punted because he was afraid “The Press” would say mean things about him.

Absurdly stupid argument that a possession become “property” via usage.

The idiocy of that is obvious. You cannot sell or transfer your press pass. It is not yours. It is a grant of special privileged access granted by the President.

Only a gutless coward, desperately looking for some way to avoid summary judgement against “the Press” could of come up with the infantile incoherent idiocy this Judge came up with.

Tell me where in the US Constitution you find that “Journalists” have the right to privileged access to the President now matter how disgraceful their conduct?

A press pass is not property. There is NO “due process” a Prescient need follow to revoke his grant of special privileg and access know as a Press Pass.

This gutless Judaical coward punted with this absurd decision. This is such an a stupid judgment it is obvious he manufactured an excuse to not summary judge against “the Press”. Most likely out of total fear of how “The Press” would say about him.
