What needs to be defined, is exactly what constitutes the "press".A lawsuit by the outlets argues the ban violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects free press rights.
Agree also. The right of the press, is the right to publish.What needs to be defined, is exactly what constitutes the "press".
I'd say that a good argument could be made that those aren't actually part of the free press.
I'd also add that the Constitution only prohibits CONGRESS from Enacting laws that abridge "freedom.....of the press".
Ie: they (Congress) cannot make laws regulating what can or cannot be published by the press.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It doesn't say that the press has absolute Right of access to all branches of government. Nor does it say exactly what "freedoms of the press" actually are, if anything beyond the freedom to publish whatever they want.

Only to those who eat up the Dem's talking points.He comes out looking like an idiot though,...
I guess T has three choices.
- Simply disobey it
- Go along with the ruling and appeal it
- Get rid of all the press in the White House
Wonder which way he'll go?
How is it that barring the Clown News Network, makes him look like an idiot?He comes out looking like an idiot though,...
I don't recall press conferences in the 1700s. Or 1800s. Or even before WWII.Because when you pick and choose who can ask you questions, you are becoming a dictatorship...don't worry though, after the mid term elections, he will be castrated.
Only to negative nellies... I SEE what he's been doing from the beginning.He comes out looking like an idiot though,...
If so, it'll only be due to a short sighted public that's been eating up the Dem's talking points.after the mid term elections, he will be castrated.
You got that right. The fact that so many think chemtrails are real is proof positive of it.Most folks don't know how to think.
Then support Republican efforts to trim the voter rolls.Well, they vote too...
