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Precedent that says a reporter has to be given notice and an opportunity to respond before their credentials can be withdrawn.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. ;-)

“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Precedent that says a reporter has to be given notice and an opportunity to respond before their credentials can be withdrawn.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?

Lol!!! Carl E. McGowan was a Marxists stooge who prevented Reagan from shutting down aid to El Salvador after the Mozote Massacre, the torture State Department official, murder of 6 American civilians, and being a front to the USSR.

His 1977 OPINION was just as bad as his decision preventing Reagan from cutting out aid the USSR goons.

I have ZERO respect for this notion of "precedent." What some past judge decided does not address the issue of the powers of the Presidency to control his own house.

The President has all the power here, and he needs to bitch slap this stupid judge by exercising it. He should instruct the Secret Service that Acosta is not to be allowed on the premises.

I read that also. The judge is bound by precedent. I think it's bad law, but the '70s saw a lot of that.

I'd like to see it appealed. It's Not a First Amendment violation, IMO.

Well, give Acosta a notice and revoke his press pass again.
