Are we turning out Lawyers that are not learning any Constitutional Law or are they just ignoring the Constitution and making it up as they go along?

There is nothing in the Constitution that says the WH has to give anyone a Press Pass or provide any press briefings. In fact I don't believe, until the advent of the modern Presidency starting with Teddy Roosevelt, the WH had any formal Press accommodations at all.

There are a lot of news outlets out there that have no WH access or Press Credentials, yet this judge seems to think one reporter for CNN is entitled to be at the WH Press pool over others.

Trump needs to appeal this to the USSC and get a definitive ruling.

Simple solution to this.... Just change the name of the pass. Then reissue all the new “credential clearances” to previous press pass holders, except for Acosta.

Which means President Ocasio Cortez can't give OAN the boot either.

See what happens when you let unelected judges order you around. Trump set this precedent when he let a Judge tell him he had no authority to regulate immigration.

Now we have another ruling in an area where the judge has absolutely no authority at all. Will Trumps legal advisors tell him he must comply? God help us.

One hell of a bad precedent. That black-robed tyrant must have been compromised. Yes, I saw he was appointed by Trump. Sad.

Ok, maybe he can’t be barred from the White House. However, I’m sure he can be pulled aside by the Secret Service for “additional screening” right before the press conference begins.

We should all demand White House Press Credentials now. Hey, we have a First Amendment right just like Jim Acosta does!!!

Keep in mind this was a temporary order until the issue is fully litigated.

***Judge Grants CNN’s Motion to Restore Jim Acosta’s White House Press Pass***

I simply cannot understand how a judge can make such a decision or why the WH should comply with the judgment... next judges will tell POTUS they must allow ISIS and MS13 into the WH.
More evidence of the breakdown of our Republic! 🗽

Trump needs to ignore this. It's time to take a stand on several issues if we're going to have any lasting success.

A correct verdict for this Judicial Republic we live in now.

Why would a judge have any say over this? The President should have control over whether or not an unruly member of the press can be allowed into the daily pressing briefing or not. Mr. Acosta should not be given special, unearned privileges and asking questions and receiving answers from the President, no matter whom he is, is a privilege, not a right. Mr. Acosta can write whatever he wants, but does not have the right to be an obstruct-or which is what he was being with his rude and arrogant behavior.

Gee, I didn’t know that a Federal Judge controls access to the White House!

Give CNN correspondents a front row seat in the middle and don't call on them. Also, every network that sided with CNN in the case briefs (Which includes FOX).

Simple solution, along with telling the Judge he is a hypocritical and bewildering weakling.

IMHO, President Trump should just ignore Acosta completely and cut back on calling on other CNN reporters there.

Actions speak MUCH louder than words or law suits.

If Trump backs down, cut off his Balls, and remove his spine.
