Trump vs. The Press: A Courtroom Showdown Over Who Gets to Ask Questions
Looks like the White House press pass might finally be getting its day in constitutional court.
CNN, MS-NBC, and Politico have collectively decided that being labeled an enemy of the people isn't enough of a reason to be barred from the room. They've dragged Trump to federal court, arguing that his habit of revoking credentials just because he doesn't like the coverage is a pretty major violation of the First Amendment.
It's essentially a high-stakes argument over whether the president's ego can override the Constitution. The outlets are tired of the gatekeeping, and they want a judge to tell the administration that the press box isn't a personal club where the host gets to pick and choose who is allowed to attend based on how much they annoy him.
Apparently, the concept of being held accountable in public remains the most terrifying thing a politician can face.
