"No journalist has a First Amendment right to enter the White House"
In answer to a lawsuit filed by CNN after the White House revoked one of the network reporter's press passes, the White House on Wednesday asserted that it can decide which journalists are given passes and which ones aren't.
According to a court filing by the Justice Department on Wednesday, White House lawyers say the president and his aides are the sole arbiters of who gets into the White House.
"The President and White House possess the same broad discretion to regulate access to the White House for journalists (and other members of the public) that they possess to select which journalists receive interviews, or which journalists they acknowledge at press conferences," lawyers say in the filing.

All of us need to step back and regain perspective.Too much is happening too fast.Every day a new log jamb of political news confronts us before the events of the previous day have been resolved.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused.I thought a Federal Judge just ordered the White House to return Acosta's pass.What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteCNN has 500 passes. Jimbo lost his privileged and under investigation for battery.
DeleteThis will be batted back and forth for months.
ReplyDeleteWe must recall these rouge judges...its gone on far too long!!
ReplyDeleteHe is dating the intern possible domestic violence
ReplyDeleteNope, you can't!
ReplyDeleteDave T: Lets get something straight for those who are dumb enough to be confused. It is not a first amendment right to be in a place of honor at the highest level of our government while acting like a complete ass. He demeanor is not only disrespectful, it's not becoming of any real media professional. Acosta aligns more as a political activist who pretends to be a journalist. And anyone who doesn't recognize this fact, is either on his side or maybe just legally blind. It is no secret that Acosta wants to become a liberal martyr. This matter has nothing to do with the First Amendment, and everything to do with the resistance movement.
ReplyDeleteCould not have said it better.
DeleteYes. A Trump appointed federal judge has ordered that Acosta’s White House credentials be reinstated.
ReplyDeletesince it's our house we should have a say in who's allowed in. I say no to the lame stream media!
ReplyDeleteIf he gets back in put him in the REAR and NEVER Answer any of his questions.
ReplyDeleteJust don't call on Acosts's rude a$$ when he wants to ask a question.
ReplyDelete10:31 Am clearly you miss a lot, typical from SBY residents... The president and his aids, HAVE SOLE authority on who can enter the white hose or not... Should I write it like a 2nd grader or in hieroglyphics for you?
ReplyDeleteFor those who are as stupid as I know you to be, being banned from the white house is not a 1st amendment issue, no one is being stopped from speaking or saying what is on their mind, no one is stopping the press from printing what is on their minds or what they want to say, what the president did was ban a man who assaulted an aid, and said you can't come back, he can still report the news and write columns and the like, so explain to me how this IS a 1st amendment issue, and give me facts not your dumb-ass uneducated opinion...
The credentials were ordered to be TEMPORARILY returned, at least until Acosta can appeal his case to the White House.
ReplyDeleteCNN wasn't banned just an a$$ hole who was just trying to make trouble so all CNN has to do is replace him with someone else.
ReplyDelete4:17 Why must you insult the entire community as ignorant, Most people here are intelligent but I guess you don't travel in those circles.
ReplyDelete7:55 I agree with you 4:17 is the one showing his ignorance and stupidity.
ReplyDelete4:17-The end results will prove you to be the baffoon you are.Watch the next presser,DUH.
