WASHINGTONA federal judge granted an emergency motion to restore the White House press credential of CNN correspondent Jim Acostaa victory for the network in a closely watched press-freedom case.
The lawsuit could determine whether the government can ban individual reporters from public buildings.
District Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed to the bench by President Trump, granted CNNs request for a restraining order temporarily restoring Mr. Acostas press access to the White House while the case proceeds.
Lawyers for Mr. Acosta, the networks chief White House correspondent, argued that the unusual revocation of a reporters press pass by the White House last week necessitated emergency action.

Agree. It is time for a showdown against the third political branch.
So Acosta gets a second chance and the White house has to write the rules of conduct into policy. If he behaves that's a win. If he doesn't behave, he gets thrown out again and that's a win. If any other reporter misbehaves, there will now be rules and the white house can act immediately and that's a win.

Surreal.
Tie up this President on even the most trivial, petty, and entirely illegitimate level.
Due process? DUE PROCESS?!
Tell that to Bundy, Flynn, Caputo, Page, Manafort, Cohen, Papadopoulos, et al.
Elitism = Communism.
This is an extension of the idea that the Bill of Rights do not belong to We The People.
To them, the 2nd means the State Militia and the Federal Military. Thus the average citizen gunowner should have no rights.
To them, the 1st means the official journalists of the mainstream, leftist, globalist media. Thus the average citizen blogger should have no such rights.
The tyrants in robes clearly share that view.
Being held in contempt and arrested is not itself a formal hearing, and is therefore a denial of due process in a public building.
Fox was always Neocon globalist. I never watched much, and stopped altogether in 2011.
It is just more blatant with Trump and with the new management.
Thanks to Trump’s embarrassing Capitulation, Federal Judges can now decide White House news conferences, and much more. Mega my ass.
That prior post is unjustifiably sanguine in naively assuming we have an impartial, non-elitist judiciary that does not routinely dispense multi-tiered pseudo-justice based upon political leaning and stature.
That is the kind of post that has been written for two years asserting that Mueller is harmless, or actually working to Trump’s benefit, based upon this or that legal technicality or established precedent. The fixes are in.
Be as smugly condescending as you like toward those citizens who are outraged that a judge has ruled a violation of due process where this is none such, while the actual due process rights of American citizens are being openly destroyed by Robert Mueller. You both are mistaken.
It is however a violation of his Oath. But that is now the norm.
How are seats assigned at WH press conferences?

Exactly. It wasn’t just the fact that Jimmy acts like an @$$hole, its also because he about knocked a female intern over trying to keep the mic. Get him ostracized by the rest. Sarah comes out prior to the next POTUS press conference and gives rules to the children. If you haven’t been called you don’t get up and start shouting questions, once your question is answered the next person gets a turn. If you don’t give up the mic, and/or if one wrestles to keep it, the POTUS shuts it down and walks out. Costa can’t help himself. When the press corps has had about 3 five minute conferences in a row because of him, maybe they will deal with him on their own terms. However, I am giving a lot of credit to this bunch.

Another black-robe fascist who’s full of himself and fears being disinvited from liberal cocktail parties.
Don’t we have anyone who knows how to deliver a right-cross to the jaw of these commie pigs to knock some sense into them?
Yes he does, the inferior courts are amending the constitution on a regular basis and they must be stopped. Currently they are abetting the theft of an election.
a White House pass can be terminated for a thousand reasons, or—— no reason at all. This judge doesn’t seem to know much about the law; where the hell did Trump find him?
The Manchurian judge doesn’t have to worry about being impeached for being raving lunatic.
