Nope.

: CNN,suing president cause he did not want answer questions to cnn reporter. I will sue CNN on fake report from E. Europe

Please uscourts stay alert to protecting our freedoms. That incl Freedom of the Press and stopping overreach by the administration.

Yes

Imagine if it was a male intern grabbing the mic off a female reporter, who would be in the wrong then?

No CNN sucks as does the Washington Post

CNN suing for a constitutional right to have a press pass is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard does that mean I have a constitutional right to have one dumb

Nope. It’s not freedom of the press issue. They didn’t ban the network....just the dumbass reporter.

Nope!

CNN's legal counsel is Ted Olsen, the former Solicitor General of the United States. I'm betting that he knows what solid, legal ground looks like!

CNN has a pass to the white house Jimbo does not. It is not Jimbos constitutional right to have a pass.

He can still get in, this is a lie

Nope. Acosta needs to get his own CNN show: Drama Queen.

We learn Acosta real first name ! Estupido ? Estafeta ? I've lost it ?! Who care since he choose to be Jim !

Does it matter if they have a case, as long as it makes the Fatty-in-Chief think twice before spitting his dummy out?

Enter, Brett Kavanaugh.

Yes CNN has a case, just wish Trump would “act” Presidential for at least another 2 long years, we can endure this, consider it entertainment !

No. He is a rude child. Watch him on Easter

Who does Jim Acosta think he is, behaving like a spoiled child who doesnt know how to act in the Peoples house? His antics have made him irrelevant and annoying. A press pass isnt a right, it's a privilege. If CNN cant control their 'reporters' they should be called out on it.

If they didn’t, I seriously doubt they would have done it.

Absolutely NOT. What a stupid question.

And CNN will win. Too bad realDonaldTrump doesn't like the questions.

Careful what they wish for, otherwise CNN will be standing next to InfoWars in the press room 😏

No

No.

That's only for sensationalising the chap, who heckled the president in a presser. Jim Acosta needs to be tried for assaulting a women intern who was on her duty too...

No they don't, & even if he gets to come back Trump doesn't have to ever call on him.

CNN may not have a case, but has raised issues for national debate.

Doesn't matter if they have a case. They will mire Sarah Liar and the Orang Buffoon in negative revelations for months.

If CNN win, professional journalism loses, simple as that.

Just need to find a Hawaiian judge to rule its unconstitutional to stop a self-absorbed jackass from monopolizing a mic

CNN has a case & it transcends the Network, defending the rights of all members of the free press to remain the vital checks & balances required in any democracy. Trump's lack of impulse control may have worked for running private companies, this is now a Constitutional matter.

Yes

CNN is a joke

You better believe they do.

He was peaceably petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. So, yes, they have a case. A good one.

No. Next question?

A difficult case, Acosta is not blameless either, he was disrespectful to the president and, no, he did not lay a finger on that assistant!

Do you mean a legal case or a 'case of the ass'?

Clearly, this is a violation of the First Amendment. Trump doesn’t stand a chance.

The Great Controversy: Chapter (1) The destruction of Jerusalem The Great Controversy: Chapter (35) Liberty Of Conscience Threatened.

Hey don't knock it you may need to cite the outcome for yourself one day!

anylis is counter sue or as will fizz away ...as some would say put a muffler on it to the topic .....it will deminish as thrown out of court as a farcus of a far fetched claim

Democrats need to send a clear message to trump and GOP that we will not tolerate any more of there lies, and racist bigotry hatred we are tired of this so let's Votethemout2020

The Great Controversy: Chapter (1) The destruction of Jerusalem The Great Controversy: Chapter (35) Liberty Of Conscience Threatened.

they have already won bc the white house immediately changed their story, even after KellyannePolls went on Fox and gave the bullshit assault as the reason.

'Under no circumstance can the White House revoke a reporter’s access to open press briefings simply because it doesn’t like that reporter’s questions. However, the First Amendment does not guarantee all reporters the right to attend White House briefings.'

😂😂😂😂😂

No. Acosta doesn’t have a right to be in the White House.

Surprising that you didn't turn to your own reporting on this issue way back in '77:

Case of Trump Derangement Syndrome

It’s freedom of the press. Not freedom to be a dirtbag.

Damn right it does! This is still America

Yes they do!!

No they are a joke!

They may have a case but it was a total GIFT to the Maga crew - wish CNN would have thought that through a bit.

The Latest: White House writing up rules for reportersWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the legal challenge to the White House's decision to strip CNN reporter Jim Acosta of his White House press credentials (all times local): 1:20 p.m. President Donald Trump says the White House is 'writing up rules and regulations' for reporters after a judge ordered the administration to restore credentials for CNN reporter Jim Acosta. Trump told reporters Friday that 'people have to behave.' He added that if journalists 'don't listen to the rules and regulations, we will end up back in court and we will win.' Asked what he meant by rules and regulations, Trump said: 'Decorum. You can't take three questions and four questions. And just stand up and not sit down.' Trump said he wants 'total freedom of the press,' but added 'you have to act with respect.' The White House said Friday that it would 'temporarily reinstate' the credentials that were revoked after Acosta and Trump tangled during a press conference last week. 12:40 p.m. CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta says all he wants to do is go back to work covering 'the guy in there,' referring to President Donald Trump. More than 50 members of the White House press corps greeted Acosta as he strode through the northwest gate of the presidential compound. A federal judge on Friday ordered the administration to restore the credentials that were revoked after Acosta and Trump tangled during a press conference last week. Acosta says journalists need to know that in the United States their First Amendment rights and freedom of the press 'are sacred' and protected by the Constitution. He says he's grateful for the judge's ruling, that it was a test and he thinks the media passed the test. Acosta says: 'This is just any other day at the White House for me and I would like to get back to work.' I guess reporters will not be permitted ask any questions. They will be expected to listen respectfully as Porkobello and Sanders spew more lies. It will just be another photo-op for the WH with reporters as props. Precedent was set in the Sherrill v Knight case in the 70s. Any trumpies with reading comprehension should look it up. WASTE OF TIME POTUS-THE JUDGE WILL DECIDE

The Latest: Judge delays ruling over White House press passWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the legal challenge to the White House's decision to strip CNN reporter Jim Acosta of his White House press credentials (all times local): 1:15 p.m. A federal judge has delayed until Friday a ruling on whether the Trump administration has to return the White House press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta. U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly isn't offering any explanation for delaying a ruling that had been expected Thursday afternoon. He's set a court date for 10 a.m. Friday. Kelly is a Trump appointee who heard arguments Wednesday from lawyers representing CNN and the Justice Department. The news network is seeking an immediate restraining order that would force the White House to hand back Acosta's credentials, which grant reporters as-needed access to the 18-acre complex. Acosta has clashed repeatedly with Trump and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in briefings over the last two years. The White House revoked the pass following a combative press conference last week, a day after Republicans lost control of the House in midterm elections. WHY!? Trump appointed Judge 👍

The White House quickly sent Acosta a letter threatening to take it away again when that order expired Acosta CNN Trump is just using this as a distraction. A judge already shot down Trump's attempts to take Acosta's 1st Amendment rights away. Acosta CNN Called behaving. Lol. Aka you aren’t that important.

At a minimum, make everyone sign conduct agreements. If Trump didn't see the writing on the wall he would have never relented!
