🇺🇸 A judge ordered the Pentagon to restore press credentials and stop screening journalists.

The Pentagon's response: comply with the ruling, close the entire correspondents' corridor, and relocate media to an external annex that's still under construction.

The court said you can't control who covers the military.

The military said fine, but you're covering it from across the parking lot now.

This is happening during the biggest U.S. military operation in two decades, when press access to the Pentagon matters more than at any point since Iraq.

And the case has been appealed.

Judge needs to be arrested for treason, tried, his connections to a foreign power investigated and discovered...and then when that connection is made, execute him/her.

Freedom of speech is not the same as freedom of access, these rulings are just wrong from the start

The judge:

Take it all the way to the Supreme Court. Lower court judges were never mentioned have such power.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Dear Lord, please let all corrupt judges be exposed and prosecuted. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

[volare737]

The power of these lower level judges is absolutely breathtaking!

Why don’t they go to the judge now for CIA or NSA building access? It’s their 1st Amendment right!

[MotorCityBuck]

If that does not qualify as a Punchable Face I don't know what does.

What’s the difference between God and a federal court judge?

God doesn’t think he’s a federal court judge.

What a f’ing paid off puss this guy is……a limp wiener.
Throw his sagging a$$ in jail.

What is the point of issuing press “credentials” to begin with if there are no standards for them?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yeah buddy. But I'm thinking a framing claw hammer.

[Taxman]

Declare the Pentagon a top secret facility and require anyone who enters to have a top secret clearance!

AND, if not a GS or active duty military Pentagon employee, require a constant escort.

On the several occasions when I was on USNR Active Duty there in the 1980s, security was, IMHO, not tight enough.

It looks like a total looney dipwad!

Amen.
