Judge tells Trump: put those press passes back

Original version ·

Looks like the White House can't just play favorites with who gets to sit in the room.

A federal judge just hit the Trump administration with a reality check. Apparently, you cannot just revoke the credentials of journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico simply because you don't like their questions.

The court decided that kicking reporters out of the White House press pool is a bit too much, even for this crew. The judge ordered the administration to temporarily restore access while the actual legal drama plays out. It turns out the First Amendment doesn't just go on vacation whenever the President feels annoyed.

Seems like the government forgot that being in charge doesn't actually mean you get to handpick the audience.
