CNN Files Suit Against the Trump Administration
CNN filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration this morning in DC District Court. It demands the return of the White House credentials of CNN’s Chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta. The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta’s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process. We have asked this court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass be returned to Jim, and will seek permanent relief as part of this process. While the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone. If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials.


Ted Olson, solicitor general under President George W. Bush is representing CNN in the case. I think this is exactly what Trump wanted.

They are going to lose this case and it’s going to be spectacular. Also, they should start doing what I posted in another thread

quote:

They should come out with a statement saying “Until the CNN lawsuit is resolved, we have been advised by council to not take questions from CNN or to provide statements to CNN”.

This will allow the White House to prove CNN is fake news in a court of law, will be glorious.

You have no RIGHT to be an invited guest at the White House.

CNN is fricking retarded

So any broke-dick with a journalism degree can demand access to the White House Press Briefing?

What "property" right has been infringed upon (5th Amendment)?

If I am Trump, my answer to this is a photocopy of my extended middle finger with "RULE 11" in all caps, 40+ font typed under it.

No one cares. Acosta is a pussy. You two are similar in many ways.

Ill play along in bizarro world. Attaching CNN to it should make it automatically DOA. The whole thing is nonsense but how was CNN,the company, harmed? Was the company banned? Are they not able to send a different reporter? Jim’s hard pass was revoked. Can he still go with a soft pass and be escorted? But it’s DC and they’ll go right along with it. Trump should channel Andrew Jackson and tell them good luck enforcing your ruling.

Ted Olson, solicitor under Bush and CNN attorney in case to restore Acosta press credentials, says: “The Supreme Court has held in no uncertain terms that the First Amendment protects ‘robust political debate,’ including ‘speech that is critical of those who hold public office”

So even if they win, Trump or Sarah should never call on him again. And if he shouts questions, ignore him. This will make them cry even more.
