Did you read about the opinion? There is a 1977 Court Precedent that says a reporter has to be given notice and an opportunity to respond before their credentials can be withdrawn. Acosta was give NO NOTICE. That is the grounds on which he is likely to prevail.
Listening to President Trump talk about it today, there appear to be “Jim Acosta Memorial Press Regulations and Procedures” in the works. I am sure his colleagues will thank him for bringing the President’s attention to this matter. ;-)
I’m referring to the fact that the only thing he was deprived of was the power or scope to act as one pleases, which is the second definition of liberty in the dictionary.
“And then a judge will preside over litigation of the rules. This puts the judiciary in charge rather than the WH.”
Yup...soon antifa will have to be given press passes.
I know the author of the article used the word "childish" for dramatic effect, however a young pack of jackals are innocent animals. Acosted is not young and he is not innocent. He is a full grown-@$$ed adult who should know better.
I think if after President Trump produces his Rules of Conduct, he should stipulate that for every lamestream journalist who acts contrary to the established rules, he will remove them and bring in a real journalist of his own choosing in their place.
There are lots of Trump-supporting guys like us out here.
Why are rules required? Where is this in the Constitution? “Rules of decorum”?! This is silliness dictated by the judiciary. This is precisely what needs to stop!
“There is a 1977 Court Precedent that says a reporter has to be given notice and an opportunity to respond before their credentials can be withdrawn. “
So this is the second ridiculous ruling on the subject. Or have there been more?
You’re exactly right and it appears that many can’t see the obvious here.
“There is a 1977 Court Precedent that says a reporters...”
Who cares? I wasn’t aware the courts were the final authority on everything...
Good, this should take 1-2 days at most and then execute the new rules starting Monday.
Just end the whole thing ! The WH Briefing is an anachronism! Let everyone ask questions through the WH website. Assign a number, rank order them by relevant topic, then answer the 1st 100 in a day or so & make it downloadable available to all. Breaks the MSM monopoly, ends the silly notion they’re something special. The networks can have shows where those preening pinheads can agonize over the questions & answers. The real question is, ‘ Will anyone watch?’.
Tell the Judge to buzz off. This is a separation of power issue and surly who the President invites onto White House property is in his control alone. It’s like who the owner of a House allows inside his own home. Silly to even think anybody else has any say over that
The judge knows that Trump is right on the merits, but does not want Antifa outside his front door threatening his wife and children. The reason that Dims resort to mob rule is that it works. The rule of law be damned. We are on a slippery slope.
I think Acosta’s behavior is escalating, like that of those HS students who eventually make national headlines.
“Tell the Judge to buzz off. “
It has to be done...These black robed tyrants are so out of control that it’s getting really dangerous. It’s not just dangerous, they’re killing off what’s left of our constitutional republic.
And the judge is considering Acosta’s rudeness and arrogance a “capital, or otherwise infamous crime”? Word definitions are really being turned on their head.
Bull Sh*t!
No one has a first amendment right to a press pass. Just cancel the press conference
Good explication. But the fake news won’t stop reporting this as a major victory and a blow to POTUS’ position regarding the MSM and fake news.
I don't thin it does. Acoster wasn't in any sort of legal jeopardy.
