Except he didn’t. The notion that White House access is “property right thur usage” is another attempt to twist the law to say something it doesn’t. You cannot sell your White House pass. it not “the Journalists”. What it IS, is a grant of privileged access from the President to the Journalist. Based on the law there is utterly NO legitmacy to the decision today.
What this judge said was because the WH allows Journalists access, it cannot BAN this Journalist. That such a intellectually stupid argument it is clear it was not written based on the law but a pathetic attempt to avoid having to make a judgement that would piss off “the press”.
Based on this ruling ANY “Journalist’ must be granted access to the White House because other journalists are granted access. Simply manufacture a “right” out of thin air. NO base in law at all. Just pure made up nonsense by a gutless coward pretending to be a Judge.
Gutless coward just kicked the can down the road rather then doing his duty.
The Trump press conference team needs at least 2 mics for reporters, so that the next time Acosta goes nuts they can simply turn his mic off at the main controls and turn on another. No need to stop a press conference.
