So is this setting a precedence allowing all press the blessing to conduct themselves like spoiled children. No civility, respect, procedure, Roberts rule of order?
I guess the only recourse may be to end briefings.
Correct. The press can go to Twitter to get their info.
Until some idiot judge rules that Trump can't do that either.
No. This is setting no precedent whatsoever. It is merely affirming the First Amendment rights of a Free Press.
The Free Press portion of the First Amendment doesn't guarantee access to the President.
If that were the case, then thousands of journalists across the country could sue , claiming their rights are being violated because they aren't granted access.
Also, it's not Acosta's job to debate the President during a press briefing.
people calm down......this was temporary. The Judge still has to rule on the case and explain how Acosta's free speech and due process were violated which he hasn't done. Once he opens up to that the SC will overturn him.
You know this, How?
Oh, that's right. Trump has the SC in his pocket now. Just another battery of his paid lawyers for another of his many companies.

Cool story, Fatbob, but right wingers should be thrilled with this ruling...... funny how they don't seem to even know that, but i guess so many are so low information they were likely hoping Acosta would lose.....Trumpy folk are amusing time and time again they are cheering on their own demise and don't even know it...

Roberts Rules of Order would be completely inappropriate in a news briefing.
The Rules are to guide an organization toward making decisions that are fair for all. That allow all voices to be heard, and the will of the majority to prevail.
The Obama administration as not as transparent as I would have liked them to be and I strongly disagreed with their handling of Fox News early in the administration, but Obama is not the subject of this thread so lets stay on topic instead of trying to deflect.
yes lets just ignore how Obama was handled with kid gloves while Trump is under constant assault from the media and then expect Trump to bend over and take it.
Umm..how did Trump "pick a fight"? The Ahole reporter started it A LONG TIME AGO..nice try at deflection though..
