It will be interesting to see if this goes to SCOTUS, where the question of separation of powers could arise. Can the judicial actually tell the executive how to run its administration?

This is only temporary, the judge hasn't actually ruled on the merits of the case. He is a Trump appointee.

Yeah, I just saw that everybody's supposed to get their arguments in.

Do you think that Trump or anyone will ever call on him again?

This is just a temporary reinstatement.

Apparently the thing that Trump should have done is to issue a written notice before revoking the pass.
==========
The CNN lawsuit argues the act of revoking access to a member of the press on the basis of reporting violates the First and Fifth Amendments. An appeals court ruled in 1977 on a 1966 denial for White House press accreditation that the White House would need to provide the reporter notice and a written decision, as well as opportunity to rebut the statement.

so I think this would just mean that Trump will just do that and the result will be the same.

There is still no information about whether the lawsuit itself will ever get off the ground. And I don't see how it violates the first amendment. Trump isn't stopping Acosta from writing anything he wants. So basically the issue is the 5th Amendment, due process. Where the notice comes in.

And that's the other thing: If revoking his privilege to attend White House press conferences is a violation of his Constitutional rights, then couldn't one say the same about not allowing him to ask questions? Where does this end?

Are you kidding? Trump shrink from a chance to fight with Acosta on national television? Are you NEW HERE?

Of course he'll call on him again. Especially if they put rules in place he thinks he can goad Acosta into violating. Then he says you violated rule x which has as its penalty removal of your pass.

Acosta will have to walk a tightrope to avoid further punative action, unless CNN wins the suit.

Considering how so many actions by the Trump Administration list have been blocked by a lower court judge^[1] only to be summarily reversed...








1. The whole mess over the travel ban immediately springs to mind for instance.

There is a conspiracy theory being pushed that Trump deliberately picked and provoked Acosta in order to distract attention away from news about the election. You know, the same one where the much vaunted "blue wave" turned out to be barely a ripple falling well within the expectations of the typical results for a mid-term election

JimL has abundantly shown that the Democrats have talked themselves into believing it was a blue wave after all.

Well, many do believe that Hillary actually won so that more than suggests a high level of gullibility

Remember the website they created pretending Hillary won so for the people with PTSD over the election results?
