A federal judge on Friday granted CNN's request for a court order that would temporarily reinstate network correspondent Jim Acosta's White House press pass, which had been suspended indefinitely in the wake of a fiery exchange between the reporter and President Donald Trump a week earlier.
The ruling from Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed by Trump, was a first victory for CNN in the ongoing case.
CNN's lawsuit, announced Tuesday, argues that Acosta's constitutional rights had been violated by Trump and five other members of his administration, as well as by the U.S. Secret Service. The other defendants include chief of staff John Kelly, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, deputy chief of staff Bill Shine and Secret Service Director Randolph Alles.

Ignore the judge. Let it go to the USSC.
Bad ruling
The ruling from Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed by Trump, was a first victory for CNN in the ongoing case.
No doubt he got some pillow talk from a wife who does not want a Democrat mob on her lawn tonight.
My guess is that it is a TRO.
Even Trump has appointed some jackasses untethered to the Constitution.
Bingo. What next, we expect a Dim prez to let a FR blogger to have a press pass?
Do as the deviocrats do in the case of a court order. Ignore, proceed as you wish. Failing that, simply issue a written press release daily if required and save some money while you’re at it. No more gaggling press conferences in the WH.
Agreed. If the WH can’t control the vitriol of the press corp in the press briefings then stop having press briefings and simply post a notice to a website daily with no questions being asked by anyone.
Do I have a Constitutional Right to a WH Press Pass?
No.
Case Closed.
Ignore the order.
Just never allow him a question.
How in hell can these judges say that abhorrent behavior and infringing upon others rights is a first amendment issue. If this stands the lefties will use this to gain access anywhere and continue their mob mentality.
One approach. Another is to announce that, until some rules of decorum are agreed upon, there will be no press conferences.
It’s long past time that Trump had these bastards arrested.
Trump appointed judge. Sad.
Unbelievable...esp from a Trump judge!!!
This should be very straightforward...who is vetting these judges for POTUS?
I’m not surprised, things aren’t going well lately for the master of 3d chess.
Close the WH press room.
