President Trump and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders often have the upper hand over CNN in the White House briefing room. But CNN has likely now claimed the advantage by moving the battle to the courtroom.

First Amendment rights may cover being free to ask any question when called on but no reasonable person would claim it allows ramblings monologues or wrestling to keep the microphone after you have been given more than fair opportunity to ask a significant share of questions.

This administration can't get past their lies on anything they do.

Yeah but the judge hearing the case is a Trump appointee. I'm concerned.

Shame... Acosta is a very bad one- track minded biased reporter...

Good that CNN is backing Acosta.

Good luck with that one

. Filing a lawsuit effectively ENDS .Acosta's access to the .WhiteHouse. His credentials reinstatement must now await the s-l-o-w, and execrable crawl of legal process. Knowing .realDonaldTrump's penchant for theater...if Acosta APOLOGIZED, he'd be back in.

Really ?...roll the tape again

expect the pass to be restored rsn

Where do they keep finding all these brilliant lawyers? This finalizes things, I’m going to take the bar exam. I know they’re wrong and I’m not a lawyer.

I suspect that these 'lawyers' might need a refresher on constitutional law.

How much did CNN pay them to say that? Anyone can look at the case and tell it’s ridiculous. He can still apply for a daily press pass, he just doesn’t have his hard pass. Not everyone gets the hard pass, and Acosta doesn’t deserve one after his antics.

He can always watch the live feed of the WH daily briefing he just couldn’t ask questions, which he sucks at. Also when they want the mic back be San adult and give it back, do not be a petulant child and go all foot stompy!

Unfortunately, Acosta's press badge has already been assigned to someone else. Even if the court says he was wronged to lose it, the person using it now has done nothing to have her credential pulled.

...the amount of money wasted trying to bring down Trump is ridiculous. It should be viewed as treasonous.

The say over 50 other staff who have hard passes for the white house. They are not being silenced., so I call BS!

Sorry, Acosta isn't worthy of a press pass to the White House. He has abused his privilege and needs to go.

Except for the errors in their suit

I'm pretty liberal... but I don't understand why they think he has a right to the WH? I mean... I bet if I decide to be a free lance reporter I couldn't get a WH press pass... so why does CNN think it's special?

Jim Acosta is rude and unprofessional in his ethics. What's there not to understand? Every house has rules. The White House too. While the WH respects the reporters, that does not mean they can be stubborn and disrespect the rules. When one's time is up it means it is up!!! Suit?

This isn’t 1977, whereas CNN has multiple avenues to use their 1A rights. This isn’t the press being barred from public places. These are the cases lawyers are leaning on in 2018? Yeah. Good luck with that Acosta and CNN

They should have pulled his pass when he grandstanded about a poem being law.

BS he can run his mouth anywhere he wants no one is stopping him. No constitutional rights were violated.

Delusional...Acosta can cover the President from outside the White House. Fake News CNN is free to send someone in his place as long as they know how to act. That is why this case has zero chance of succeeding for Cry Baby Jim Acosta

I would not hire such ambulance chasers. They are just looking for a paycheck.

Dream on

Lawyers are a big problem in this country. They need to reread the laws!

There’s certainly plenty of video evidence to support CNN.

GOOD!!! Sue Them GOOD!! The BULLSHIT GOP Only Understand Money - Take It Away From Them - They Are WRECKLESS and STUPID!

Acosta is just a caricature of the press, can't take him seriously

It's almost like Trump just cherry picks from the Constitution and has never read the full document 🤔

You can get a dozen lawyers to say whatever you want, that doesn't mean anything. Forget legal questions, Acosta comes across as a nine year old. Whatever respect he may have had is gone.

Does FLOTUS Melania think Jim Acosta still deserves the honor of reporting from the White House?

I agree with what 44 told a reporter when he flipped his lid. It is a privilege to be a White Houe reporter.

Acosta Jim Acosta was completely disrespectful to our POTUS and the young intern trying to do her job. He shows NO respect for the WH either. They were correct to remove his credentials and they have not infringed on his freedom of speech he still has that.

lol shifting... you mean 'adding on'...

Jim Acosta assaulted someone. They can’t have a guy that unstable around the president.

Doesn't he still hold a 'press pass', just not access to the WH
