Wife and I were talking about this on the way home today. She said it's a simple problem to solve. Don't call on him and when he starts mouthing off, interrupting and generally being an ass, Trump should tell Acosta he's rude and being unfair to his peers, and just turn around and walk out. It will only take two or three times before other reporters start shutting him up.

Flipping around the channels and CNN was whining that Trump said him and his staff will start walking out of press conferences if they don't like how people are behaving

There is prior case law that goes over this. The government technically can't just wave a magic wand and say that your 1a rights are suspended w/o real cause. Trump and the WH have to show real cause as to why it should be, go through all the steps, and then make it so. View Quote |

Quoted: There are existing rules: The code of federal regulations that now guides the White House press pass process states that "In granting or denying a request for a security clearance made in response to an application for a White House press pass, officials of the Secret Service will be guided solely by the principle of whether the applicant presents a potential source of physical danger to the President and/or the family of the President so serious as to justify his or her exclusion from White House press privileges." The White House never claimed Acosta was a security threat. ---- The government did not play by their own rules and revoked the pass just because View Quote |

This was a decorum issue. He was asked to stop speaking and surrender the mic so that other questions could be answered. I bet a higher court, maybe even the USSC, ultimately disagrees with this ruling. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

If you read the case law it talks about what clear things there are not acceptable like threats to life and such which can be immediate removal/rejection of press pass. There isn't a list of approved things you can and cannot say. It is left pretty open to where the person or group who wants to make the point to remove press access of the other has to make a case and not just because he asked a hard question or got aggressive in his questioning. |

Wireless microphone should have a 12 second timer, each reporter has 12 seconds to ask their 1 question, then the mic shuts itself off.
It’s not a person shutting them off, it’s a timer. Each reporter is treated equally, each gets equal mouth time. |

Quoted: White House does not control the seating chart I'm astonished that people do not know how that shit really works. There have always been press briefings but only really started with TV back in the Clinton days. And while President John F. Kennedy was the first to hold a live TV press conference, the concept of a daily, live televised briefing didn't begin until the Clinton administration -- but that ended pretty quickly. "The briefing is more an opportunity to exchange ideas and to have a conversation about what's happening.That wasn't really happening in a way that as productively as we had hoped," reflected former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers in an interview with C-Span. Former Clinton writer and journalist, Seth Masket, says he remembers those early days. "It was a little chaotic. It was a fairly new approach. Reporters didn't know how to cover it. The people who were actually providing these briefings were, for the most part, had just come off a successful presidential campaign and were trying to transition," he recalled. |

Quoted:
It's a fine line that must be looked at objectively IMHO. The 5th amendment claim of Due Process is supported by case law from 1977 for this type of issue. In that case law it specifically talks about the claim of a person whose job it is to be a correspondent who is exercising their 1st amendment right. One of the issues I see with that case law is that it doesn't go over "decorum" in an appropriate manner and kind of leaves it open to 1a case law like no threats and such. Now I am not wanting a list of things you can and cannot say but having something in there rather than leaving it as it sits would have been much better. I think Trump handled it well but he needed to go through the proper process and case law to get to the proper end goal which should be Acosta being revoked and denied access.

There is no right to be permitted to attend a press briefing. Access is at the pleasure of the executive branch. This is a clear violation of separation of powers.

It is a 5th and 1st amendment based case despite your objection to it. View Quote The 5th deals with personal property. Press passes remain property of the Government, not the individual to whom they're issued. I'll bet money it even says "Property of the US Government" right on them. As for the 1st, words mean things. "Congress shall make no law..." Congress is not involved in this in any way, and Jim Acosta not having a WH pass does not abridge his freedom to spout his bullshit at all. Nothing in the 1st says anyone in government has to assist the press in any way. At all. That includes speaking to them, or even acknowledging their existence. |
