Let's wait and see what the lawsuits just filed say about that. There is such a thing as due process that wasn't followed for revoking passes and there has to be a reason other than Trump dictates it. I'm betting Jim will have his pass back soon.

I agree with you here. Acosta will most likely be back soon, but will probably never be called upon to ask a question again.

Any half-assed, passive-aggressive apology by Acosta and CNN for getting "carried away" would have accomplished the same ends.

Now they are going to get spanked.... publicly.... again!

Yep.

Too bad for Acosta that the "freedom to ask questions of the President" is not.

He can write to him, send him emails and telegrams, all he wants, just like the rest of us can.

From a legal perspective, the argument "you have no right to a press pass" hold little weight. Personally, I think everyone involved - Acosta included - made asses of themselves, but CNN is on solid legal footing as far as I can see.

CNN can send a replacement, it's just this particular reported that is banned from the White House, he is still allowed to cover the White House.


I doubt he'll ever set foot in the WH again.

Acosta uses physical force against a female intern to keep the mic AFTER Trump called on the next journalist, NBC's "Peter" Alexander. Acosta and CNN will lose the lawsuit.

The right to tobacco has been a right since before the U.S. Constitution.

The Alcohol Tobacco and Firegrounds agency must conform to obvious rights.

Tobacco is merely a medicine for Anxiety Derangement Disorders.

I got my law degrees from books and movies.

I've studied the best legal arguments.

I fail to see 'physical force'. Now Acosta should have sat down when Trump said no more questions from him, but there is no decorum in this WH.

I agree. It seems like some people see what they want to see.
