This wasn’t a ruling - just a preliminary finding. The actual trial hasn’t taken place yet.

Trump doesn’t HAVE to do a damned thing!
The judge can take a flying leap.
Wonder what most judges would do if someone screamed and argued non stop at them during session.
Appeal to the courts which don’t have any authority to give back the authority lost when executive granted them authority by appearing in court the first time. Never grant the court authority in the first place. Arguing a case is granting authority. Send a letter standing not appearing because no authority. Duh.
This seems to be an intrusion into the freedom of the White House to make independent decisions on optional activities.
Some have another press room for Fake Reporters
The judge basically said that they need to set some rules for reporters and when a reporter violates those rules his/her/its press pass can be revoked.
They’ve set some rules.
The trap is set for Acosta.
Actually his administration should create the rules of decorum for white house press conference(s) etc for the press. He should revoke all passes and in order to get it back each member of the press need to sign off on the rules stating the read them and understand them. That is how I would do it.
If the want to act like children, treat them like children
The traitorous decision by the traitorous Judge Timothy Kelly needs to be appealed all the way to the SCOTUS to get it overturned.
And Kelly needs to be impeached!!
No, he should ignore this and all the other ridiculous unconstitutional rulings coming from activist judges.
To appeal this ruling implies that the Judiciary Branch has any business telling the Executive Branch how to manage its internal affairs. Is the Judiciary branch the supreme branch that rules over all the others? I must have read the wrong constitution if so.
I’ve been a bit disappointed in Trump in this regard. The appropriate response to such a ruling is an extended middle finger, followed by an effort to have the offending judge impeached or otherwise removed.
I know I am minority on this but I agree with judge. If I am visiting a federal building including the white house I want to be treated fairly. If a federal official wanted to remove me from the premises for bad behavior I want to know in advance what behaviors would get me kicked out. I recently visited a national park and I was given instruction as to what actions were unacceptable.
In the meantime the White House should make incremental adjustments to the way it conducts press conferences. Nothing too ostentatious, just little drip-by-drip changes, each of which makes things a bit more uncomfortable for ALL the reporters.
They could bring in pieces of equipment and/or furniture which would take up space now occupied by reporters. Nothing too big, just enough to eliminate a row of seats.
They could start bringing in one or two reporters from small newspapers, or even an obscure blogger or two. Enough to displace a few regulars.
They could turn the heat up in the room and have the President 45 minutes late, at which point they could call off the press conference due to urgent business.
Eventually they could add rules such as after a reporter is allowed 20 seconds to ask a question, his mic is turned off. If anyone continues to talk or shouts a question, he would be physically removed by the Secret Service Two infractions would result in a time out from future press conferences. Three such incidents would result in revocation of passes and banishment from the White House premises.
Regardless how the court rules in this matter...the President should have the beefiest Marine guard he can find, passing the microphone around at the next press conference.
Every school in the country has the right to suspend students if they disrupt classrooms — yet the White House does not have the authority to suspend reporters who disrupt its news conferences?
The media wants press conferences more than the White House does. Donald Trump would be perfectly happy to present the news and his opinions through Twitter alone.
So the next time Jim Acosta disrupts a White House press conference, instead of breaking the law by suspending him, the White House should simply suspend the news conference — either for a day, or a week, or however long it takes for CNN to fire Jim Acosta since there would be nothing for him to do.
This IS a separation of powers issue. The judicial branch has zero jurisdiction over how the executive branch defends the White House.
They are supposed to be professionals. Wouldn’t a list of rules on conduct be so ... proletarian?
“Trump Must Appeal Acosta Ruling Based On Separation Of Powers”
Huh? How could someone in their right mind write a title like that?
