WH Agrees To “Temporarily” Reinstate Acosta’s Pass

Via White House press release:

Today, the court made clear that there is no absolute First Amendment right to access the White House. In response to the court, we will temporarily reinstate the reporter’s hard pass. We will also further develop rules and processes to ensure fair and orderly press conferences in the future. There must be decorum at the White House.

That’s NOT what the court “made clear,” of course.

This is important now that WH press secretary Sarah Sanders is claiming in a statement that “the court made clear that there is no absolute First Amendment right to access the White House. ” https://t.co/VEwVBcaFJQ
