Acosta’s First Amendment rights
And that right there is where the Judge violated his oath of office and exposed himself a poltical clown not a Judge.
There is no such right in the 1st Amendment for special treatment because one is a “journalist”.
Anti-American Crony Capitalist Big Media gets special rights regular people don't get.
They are the gate keepers, after all.
Screw the Constitution.
Guess I am seeing this differently then many here. Judge Kennedy has served POTUS up a tremendous softball opportunity to reign in the WH Press Corps. The judge made it clear that this was not a 1A issue. He simply stated that Acosta’s right to due process was violated. What the WH will do, and has already signaled, is to devise a stringent set of rules of decorum.
Expect to see: Reporters will only speak when asking a question, if and when they are chosen, any follow-up will have to be accepted by the speaker prior to being asked, if the speaker moves to another reporter, you will quietly relinquish the mic and return to your seat, etc.
Anyone violating this decorum will have their credentials revoked and due process will no longer be an issue due to a clear set of guidelines being violated. This will effectively neuter the grand-standing taking place now.
This is why CNN is really not celebrating this, but instead reporting that the signaling from the WH in regards to a new set of decorum is “ominous”.
The entire First Amendment is about how the government can’t just arrest you for what you wrote or said, so long as you weren’t violent and threatening in doing so, simply the fact that it implies the government being wrong or doesn’t agree with them is fine. BTW, did we ever bother pardoning the man who made the offensive Islam video on YouTube that got blamed for causing Benghazi?
