It maybe - I am not sure. The higher courts will need to review this.

I don't think "decorum" is always the arbiter of a decision. I personally find it that if you're so disruptive in any engagement that the table either has to leave themselves or you need to leave the table for anything potentially efficient can be done; then that is a reason to lose the pass.

The adage of -- your rights stop at the end of my nose -- comes to mind.

At what point are you infringing on another's right to first amendment activities?

When are you allowed to shout down my question to my president?

When are you squashing my voice because of your zeal?

Kaitlan Collins is an example of this. She was kicked out for shouting at Putin and Michael Cohen during a photo op - deemed inappropriate questions.

Personally I believe you should be allowed to ask any question of a standing President. That's part of the job. I do think there needs to be order in order to have a civilized discussion.

The President is not compelled to call on Press members. That is the answer ultimately.

Jim can yell and be annoying - Trump doesn't have to listen or respond to him.

- Mr. President are you lying about what happened?
- Next question.
- But Mr. President, the people have a right to know your version.
- Sit down, I'm not talking to you.
- But Sir...
- I said next, you're an awful person.
*Press pass revoked for making a scene, Misc cheers about how the guy should stfu*
Next press meeting:
- Mr. President can I ask you about Monic...
- Next question!
- Sir please...
*Press pass revoked*
etc.

The above is a long winded way of saying that when someone is granted a press pass the judge believes that it can't just be revoked at Trumps whim without any due process, reasoning as to why and with harm caused to the press, because to do so is suppressing freedom of the press as you could go down the road of just revoking every pass from people you dislike until you get someone who won't challenge you (clearly this isn't what Trump would do, but the checks are in place to stop that slippery slope from even starting).
Constitution gives everyone a right to attend WH press conferences on WH grounds ?

Otherwise, arguing that due process is needed to revoke a pass that isn't even your constitutional right is nonsense.

First, realize that the judge did not address the merits of the case. The judge ruled the same way the judge back in the 1970s ruled. If you are going to revoke a press pass...what is your procedure for doing so? The whitehouse does not have established guidelines for revoking a press pass. Once those have been written, going by this judgement alone, the whitehouse would then be able to revoke press passes when those guidelines have been violated. That's all this ruling says, have a process and guidelines in place.

Now, it will be interesting to see what the next step is. Once the WH writes down rules and guidelines and uses them to revoke a pass, they will have satisfied this judgement. That's when whomever gets their pass revoked will sue, claiming that the guidelines are unfair or shouldn't apply. I think that's when you might finally get a real ruling on the subject as to how much of a "right" the press has to have those passes. But right now all the judge said was very, very fair...have a process and procedure in place before revoking passes. The fact that they have nothing, makes it tough on the judge to side with them.

That’s missing the point. Apparently there is supposed to be some process involved here. You could have a guy 100% guilty of a crime, on tape, confessions, hundredths of witnesses, etc., and there would still have to be a trail to convict him. It might be the shortest most boring trial ever, but the process he is due must still be maintained.

Acosta is the media version of Avenatti. Don't know why anyone defends this clown. He only serves to feed into the media is biased argument.

According to the article in the OP it certainly was.

"The big picture: Judge Kelly said it is likely that Acosta’s first and fifth amendment rights were violated when the White House suspended his press pass, saying he believes CNN and Acosta are likely to prevail in the case."

regardless of political affiliation his repeated actions would warrant removal or firing in most professional positions. you cant just stand there and hold up the progress and work of everyone around you then yell over people. that people would side with him and say he did nothing wrong is mind boggling

the claim that his 1st amendment right was violated is a precarious one. So, can any alt-media type on youtube that doesn't have a press pass claim that their 1st amendment rights are being violated?

Well... that's the problem with "working with the public" position.

People act like children. If Jim is asked to leave and keeps shouting - he will violate a security parameter. That is ultimately what Trump needs to do as a tactic.

That's not quite true.

It is true that the Judge did not rule on whether or not it was a first amendment violation, but the reason why the 5th amendment was brought up is because of possible violations of the First Amendment.

The bottom line is the First Amendment is an inherent feature of our Republic. It's important. And it has to be balanced against things like security concerns (the main reason why reporters have press passes).

And thugs and bullies like Trump cannot do whatever they want even if they're the President.

All this ruling says is that the WH needs to come up with a process and guidelines. Once they do that, they can kick people out.

So basically these reporters can just run amok with no repercussions then. That's the precedent that has been set.

The 1st amendment was not addressed...at all. Even CNN said that. Once the new rules are put into effect and someone gets their press pass revoked, THEN you will have a 1st amendment case.

Big difference.
Are you saying that the constitution has provisos in place where it depends on how many people are interested in a topic? Is the WH able to revoke based on how many people are interested and then who makes that decision? The rest is your opinion of him, which doesn't hold any legal relevance.

No it doesn't, it does however offer protections to the press.

You don't seem to understand how law works based on that comment alone, so there's really not point in armchair law discussions, maybe read the judges reasoning based on law and then come back to argue a counterpoint to his decision, rather than making up how you think the law works and arguing a point off the back of it.

Where does due process come into having a wh press pass? How does the 5th amendment apply to something as small as this?

Jonathan Peters, a media law professor at the University of Georgia, told CNN. "Relevant precedent says that a journalist has a First Amendment right of access to places closed to the public but open generally to the press. That includes press rooms and news conferences. In those places, if access is generally inclusive of the press, then access can't be denied arbitrarily or absent compelling reasons. And the reasons that the White House gave were wholly unconvincing and uncompelling."

Oh you don't follow. So, when the government gives me access (which is what a hard pass is) they have to determine a method of revoking that access just like they had a method of granting me access. They don't have a method written up saying "revoke because of..." as a policy. That is the due process part. Even then whatever policy is written if I find out it infringes on my other rights (1st/2nd/whatever) I can sue you and say the policy you designed is illegal and the courts will have to determine that.

Interesting. Not a verdict by any means, but if it continues that path it either sets precedent that hard pass to access WH grounds is every reporters right, or it will go to Supreme Court.
Lol, no it doesn't. It just says the White House cannot arbitrarily revoke a reporter's pass simply because they don't like the reporter's questions.

Until the WH puts some guidelines in place, yes. Once they do that, they will satisfy this judgement and can start kicking people out.
I think this goes to show just how far Acosta has gone off the rails with his behavior when this appears to be the first instance where a reporter EVEN NEEDED to be removed so that guidelines need to be created. In the 200 year history of the white house (not sure how long press conferences have been going on) this has never come up. And there have been interactions between the press and past POTUS's that were contentious....but Acosta went so far as to warrant something like this happen.

Sad!

By this logic, no "journalist" should ever be denied.

Unless the process otherwise infrgines on a constitutional protection.

Brb Democratic President makes a policy that any reporter who owns a firearm is not allowed access to the White House.

Do you see the issue there.
