CNN file suit against Trump administration for taking reporter's pass
2018-11-14
[PRESSTV] American broadcaster CNN has taken legal action against US President Donald Trump, and several of his aides, for barring the network’s senior correspondent from the White House.

The White House revoked CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass," after an exchange of words between Trump and Acosta and the president's harsh remarks during a press conference last week.

#10  Trump should go dark. No press conference and no Tweets until the new year. Let them guess what he's thinking.

#9  CNN's access isn't being denied. Just Acosta's. 58 other reporters from CNN still have access.

Personally, I would just throw all the bums out and just hand out printed press statements. Fuck them all.

#7  FoxNews just announced an Amicus Brief of FoxNews supporting the CNN lawsuit against the White House. FoxNews has been swinging left recently. Breitbart and Drudge are the only ones left that are not a part of the MSM ship of fools.

#6  The lawsuit is a response to the White House's suspension of Acosta's press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass," last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN's First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning. It was docketed and assigned to Judge Timothy J. Kelly, a Trump appointee. The judge has given the defendants an 11 a.m. Wednesday deadline to file responses to the suit. He has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.

#5  Maybe that judge in Hawaii who blocked Trump's order on vetting immigrants from some countries can help.

#4  I want to know the name of any judge that doesn't immediately throw this out

Pick a judge. Pick any Obama appointed judge.

#3  I want to know the name of any judge that doesn't immediately throw this out simply based upon the Constitutional separation of powers. It would be no less than the Executive sticking its fingers into any federal judge's action to have the bailiff remove someone from his court.

#2  Violence by the left is to be acceptable part of politics. Fighting back is not to be tolerated by the cartel.
