No I didn't say that. I'm saying if he commandeers a press conference as a White House guest he should be thrown out for being an asshole.

It isn't a 5th amendment thing, either. Acosta has no right to be there. None of his rights were harmed in any way.

Now, if Trump forced him to take a ride on Marine 1, you might have a point.

Hmmm, how many people could they fit on Marine 1?

You keep saying that because you want to believe it.  Judge Kelly ruled that the government violated Acosta’s Fifth Amendment right to due process when it rescinded his White House press credentials. The ruling signals that Acosta is likely to prevail on the merits of his Fifth Amendment case, as the White House did not properly give notice, explanation, and an opportunity for rebuttal, as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals had said was necessary in a similar case decided more than 40 years ago. Kelly explicitly did not rule on Acosta’s claim that his First Amendment rights had been violated.

The legal decision as handed down is the issue here and does deal with the 5th.  So sorry DonS you are incorrect and as such you can either live with it or hold your breath, stomp your feet, scream out "not My Judge" and throw a tantrum on the floor.

How so? The 1st Amendment does not specify that every single reporter from a press entity is guaranteed access to a press conference. In this case, "the Press" is CNN. As long as CNN is not excluded, there is no violation of the 1A, despite what any individual judge may rule.

Fine, even if true, except he said a direct assault on the 1st.

The 1977 case actually helps set up a standard for the time that was reasonable. Up until then there was no release of info by the SS as to why people were denied their 1a rights. How you don't see that as a problem is mind boggling. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that you either didn't read the relevant parts of the case or don't understand the implications of it.

Let me put it this way. If Hillary had won and she revoked all the press passes of all Conservative news organizations, as you are suggesting Trump should do to Acosta, would you be upset with that and complaining?

The case law might not be the best, not may things are nowadays, but up until this point it hasn't been an issue. Trump now has the opportunity to appeal case law and take the to the SCOTUS to have it changed. Why is that a bad thing? Why should he not have to follow case law?
Did he revoke Acosta's pass, or CNNs pass? If CNN can still send another reporter who is not Acosta to the press conferences, where are the damages?

This is the stupidest fucking thing I think that's happened to Trump so far.
From the 1977 case law:

With respect to its requirement of notice and opportunity to rebut, the Court relied on its determination that denial of a White House press pass constitutes a deprivation of "liberty" without due process of law within the meaning of the fifth amendment because it interferes with the free exercise of the profession of journalism.
That is one of the reasons why Acosta could file and challenge.
Where does it state he has a right to disrupt  and harrass, or refuse to return government owned property?

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.
He was granted a question. He wanted more. And was willing to resist a state employee instructed to retrieve the government property after his question was answered. He was free ranging. I guess if he pulled his dick out that would have been ok too.

I'd brief the press on what the expectation of behavior is.  You don't immediately give up the mic when the intern reaches for it, you're out.  You yell questions, without the mic in your hand, you're out. Don't sit down and shut up when asked, you're out. Etc.

It would seem easy enough for the White House to publish a set of rules with penalties, then give Costa his hearing...within 60 days.  The results of the hearing would be published within 60 days of the hearing.  If he wants to appeal, the appeal would be set within 60 days. In the unlikely event that he is successful in having his pass restored, guess how long it will take to get his pass back to him...yep, 60 days.  They could follow the court's direction and still keep him on ice for quite a while.

It would be akin to having all the expense and problems of having your car towed for a DUII charge for which you are found innocent..still costs time and money.  One way or another, Costa would be taught that he is not the one in charge, and if he wants to play, he has to follow the rules.

Until asscunt made contact with that tasty intern there has been no legal justification of barring him or others.  Now the judge ruled that there needs to be a procedure in place... short leash, aggro dog kind of thing,  JUST enough lead to build up frothing snarling charge only to get stopped short.
