I don’t believe this crap. Is there anything judges can’t do?? Trump ought to call a press conference, give a secret hint to the ones he likes not to bother, and then leave them in there for hours, waiting for him.

Restricts access.

And then there’s the Stop Nick Shirley Act...

...which is about, you guessed it, restricting access.

The Courts have created a class of super beings known as the “media.” These super beings can slander, censor, incite actual violence, and have access to any and every space in America.

They have absolute immunity.

It is said that every child dreams of growing up to be president. Perhaps they should dream of becoming a federal judge instead.

🤔

Ignore the ruling. How is the judge going to enforce it?

I started a news media organization this morning. I wonder where I go to get a White House press pass? Maybe I’ll just call this judge.

Okay, where is the law passed by Congress, concerning the nuts and bolts of granting press credentials to hostile network personnel, employed by networks who routinely censor Trump’s speeches?

Does Trump now have to get permission from a Federal judge to fire White House personnel, or who to allow outsiders into the White House? Do network personnel have a constitutional endowed right to drive up to the White House and gain entrance.?

Can I make myself a letterhead press corporation. give myself press credentials, and force myself into the White House with a Federal judge’s mandate?

Does Trump have any competent lawyers?

I don’t think the first amendment violation argument will fly. When an establishment bans guns inside its confines, is that violating second amendment rights?

Seems like the president should have some say about press personnel he finds troublesome or obnoxious, or maybe he could just ignore them in a press conference & move on to another that he found less objectionable.

Democrats are desperate to get Trump to defy a judge or court order before the November elections so they can claim that he’s acting outside the law and should be impeached.
This is a lame-brained liberal trap, a narrative they can run with for the next month.

After the midterms Trump should ignore every stupid court order and tell these district judges that they don’t have authority over the Executive Branch.
If they don’t like what he’s doing then their problem is with Justice Roberts, not him.

In the meantime, deny access to all who lie and then hold ad hoc press briefings outside the White House or on Air Force One.

Screw ‘em.

Either that or let them in and spend the entire briefing crapping on liberals and democrats and give them no real info about what he plans to do about anything at all.

Exactly. What is there to even discuss. They are not entitled to be in that room, sorry. That is a place for professionals, not charlatans. They can report all they like…. More “death to democracy” seems to ripe the crowd up. Go for it.

It was not even a month ago CNN reported none of Trump endorsed candidates won their races…. When in FACT over 90% did…96% in fact lol. This is what passes for “journalism”?

I believe this is temporary, something like 14 days.

How have the courts ruled in prior cases?
