Judge Napolitano: CNN has “a very good case” against White House in Acosta lawsuit

[Mac1958]

Pretty dumb move by the White House either way.

Don't call on him. Give him one-word answers.

You're making his career for him. Too funny.
.

When he does that to Acosta, he just keeps interrupting the President or the next reporter so he can argue with the President. He was rude and acting like a jackass.

Yes, but banning him wasn't the only way to deal with it.

They're doing him a favor. I don't know how that isn't obvious.

We sure do love to ban things, and it rarely if ever works.

Acosta should have his 1st Amendment rights.

But the White House is under no legal obligation to invite him to the Press conference. ...

Yes they are. Once he is in, only a threat to the president or his family is grounds for revocation.
Your people only watch Fox clips when it's convenient. You didn't watch this one.

It's not about invitations. Under federal regulations his press pass cannot be revoked, except under limited circumstances.

And, would those "limited circumstances" include assault?

 

[task0778]

The WH can create the Jim Acosta rule: one question only, no followups for anybody. You ask your question and give up the mike, simple. Violators will not get the mike in the 1st place to ask even one question. And are there no rules against disrespecting the President of the United States in the White House?

 

[Ted Frazier]

If the courts rule that Acosta must be allowed to attend the White House Press conferences.

Then the President should never acknowledge or take any of Acosta's questions.

Problem solved!! ....

If he does that, other journalists will ask him why he ignored Acosta and the circus will continue to distract from the solid economy.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Trump mishandled this. He should have let Acosta make an ass of himself for the nation to see. sane Americans expect a certain level of decorum.

When has anyone ever stopped - or been able to stop - Jim "Look at me!" Acosta from making an ass out of himself for the nation to see? You'd have to knock the guy unconscious.

Is there a reason why you have the picture of a racist as your avi?

Is that your view, also?

Acosta won't shut the fuck up. That's the reason they revoked him to being with.

Here's another angle....who enforces the Court's order? Technically, Trump could defy the Court and force impeachment proceedings that are already underway with the new commie horde entering the House.

Wait. I thought it was because he slapped an intern with a very very very fast hand movement not doctored at all.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Right wing political analyst for Fox News says that there were no grounds for dismissing and Jim Acosta from the White House press conferences.

For the same reason the Naked Emperor was forced to unban people on his official Twitter account, he will be forced to let CNN back in the White House.

Trump is the leader of the wrong country. He belongs in some Third World dictatorship, where he'd be much happier.

he will be forced to let CNN back in the White House.

CNN was never prevented from coming to the White House.
Just one of their whiners.

Even if CNN didn't have literally 50 other reporters with WH press passes, I don't remember anything in the First Amendment about an inalienable right to attend press conferences.

If no one's stopping Jim Acosta from saying whatever he wants in print/on air - and nobody is - then no one is violating his First Amendment rights.

It's you versus right wing Fox expert Judge Napolitano.

. . . And now you're going to cite those regulations, and give us your "experienced legal" explanation of how they apply in this case, right?

Or at the very least, tell us whose opinion column you cut and pasted that from.

Violators will not get the mike in the 1st place to ask even one question. And are there no rules against disrespecting the President of the United States in the White House?

I believe that already WAS the rule. That's why the intern was trying to take the mike away from him: he'd already asked his question, AND a second question he wasn't entitled to, and it was time for him to shut his flapping piehole and give someone else a turn.

 

[Bush92]

Fuck Jim Acosta. He’s not even a real journalist. He’s a propagandist for the DNC.

Wait. I thought it was because he slapped an intern with a very very very fast hand movement not doctored at all.

Actually, it was because he made physical contact with the intern while attempting to keep the microphone - and the spotlight - past his allotted time.

And may I just say how pro-woman it is of folks like you to try the whole "Well, since he didn't HIT her, it's okay" tact?

White House protocol and etiquette have been thrown out the window by the liberal lunatic socialist press corps. They drooled over Obama and cannot stand the fact that someone who actually loves this nation is POTUS.

Thanks for helping me prove that right wing USMB member Bootney Lee lied about the reason being that Acosta "wouldn't shut up".

Bootney, you and Cecilie need to iron out your differences.

Acosta is a politically motivated, nonobjective individual. I wouldn’t let the fucker even work the media.
