And as I pointed out:

So this swings both ways, wouldn't you say?

I'm sure you feel you made a point, but I'm not sure what you think it is.

My guess is you're referencing Supreme Court nominees, but, if so, surely you are aware the main complaint against, say, Kavanaugh, was that he was being specifically chosen because of his position which couldn't be trusted, namely that he would consistently side in favor of the President in a future potential criminal case and it was for that position he was nominated. To the best of my knowledge, such a complaint has not been widely made against EVERY Trump judicial nominee, just the most important ones. For example, I'm not personally aware of anyone making any claims about this Judge Timothy Kelly.

If that is not your position, please clarify. If it is your position, I'm sure you can acknowledge this really isn't a "swings both ways" sort of thing. Just let me know.

It won't be long before Acosta goes too far and not even an activist judge can save him.

If Trump was wanting to downplay drama and make a point, zero. We'll see if that happens. It's also likely that Trump will call on him just to kick the press drama into overdrive as it's a narrative he can drive rather well and takes focus off of everything else.

I reckon that will happen as soon as Junior is indicted by Mueller. Trump can pardon his boy, therefore sealing his defeat in 2020. Sounds good to me .

Yep, feel the embrace of the Rule of Law. Their Gods claw feet are cracking, that and his tantrums since 6 Nov. And Mueller is getting closer. His complaining about not answering a take home test questions from Mueller are at best laughable

another dodge thats what I thought!
Translation: your posts, lies and topical ignorance got the **** kicked out of them and you STILL cant support your claims LMAO

Please let us know when you can support your claim about obligation... heck let us know when you can support your monumentally uneducated strawman about this topic referring to the first amendment ann the judge not being fit or understanding the constitution. we'll be waiting, thanks!

The WH shouldn't bother.

Let the guy back in the room and let him sit. Whoever runs a press event just ignore him.

Maybe he'll eventually go away or maybe CNN will pull him and put someone else in there who will be able to ask questions.

So you want Trump to maintain control in a presser? That is one hell of a Christmas wish & ain't happening.
Trump has to win in all things.
 
tres borrachos said:
Interesting, and not surprising actually. Has Trump Twitted on this yet, like screaming that the judge can not possibly make a fair ruling because he's got Mexican heritage, or something equally as stupid?

Well it is only temporary, so I guess we shall see once the real debate by the legal experts begins.

Not a good thing for Trump and Sanders, who I'm sure thought this would be upheld by a judge, because, well, he's The Donald, and we must all obey and worship The Donald. Poor man is having a bad month.

He's too busy trying to read and answer Mueller's questions. He's kind of stuck because they told him no crayons.
 
Harshaw said:
Not sure what you're referring to, but not at all the point.

This was a Trump appointee, and longtime Republican staffer, who decided against the Dear Leader. Word was, that wouldn't happen.

I'm not saying YOU claimed it wouldn't happen, but a lot of others around here did. You simply happened to be the OP on the topic.

No I did not claim he would rule for the WH. Still it is based upon past precedent. Now will the WH appeal?? Who knows what Trump will do
 
Perotista said:
I don't see where Acosta freedom of speech has been abridged. He is still free to say, write and report anything he wants. CNN is free to name another reporter to take his place. Perhaps one not so confrontational and bit more courteous and tactful. Does the removal of one press pass mean the lost of freedom of the press? Especially when the one with the pass revoked can be replaced by another for the network.

Or is this the slippery slope you're afraid of, first CNN reporter and then perhaps another and another. The same fear second amendment right advocates fear about every new gun law. Perhaps both are afraid of the same thing. Too much control, too much government control.

Slippery slope. It is a new and weird world we live in

Perhaps you can discuss that when Mr Acosta is released from detention.

why is this judge bad? Please do tell!

He cited legal precedent instead of doing what Trump wanted. Apparently this makes him an activist judge who doesn't know the law.

His fav term last week in the presser was Embrace. Those that did not embrace lost their races

He thinks any Judge that takes issue with Trump's trampling of the Constitution is an 'activist' judge.

liberals will go all out to claim that righties have pissed on the constitution even when the amendment in question has nothing to do with the issue at hand, and then piss on any and ALL of the amendments when it doesn't go their way

They didn't create a law. They followed a previous ruling that stated that a Press Badge was property and therefore couldn't be taken away without due process, in line with the 5th Amendment.

Count Rudy reckons some of those questions are a perjury trap. In other my client lies his ass off so much we refuse to answer. Even Dowd, Trumps lawyer claimed his client was a f***ing liar.

When you get down to it the man has no integrity. A vital component of leadership when one is President of a,Democracy.

Or maybe Trump should ask Linda McMahon to provide him with some new interns from the WWE to patrol the pressroom.

If Trump does not like the 14th we have an amendment process. Use it or prepare to get shot down by the SC.

You have a cite to back up your claim, or just frothing at the mouth again about those evil liberals?
