Judge Kelly orders the White House to reinstate Jim Acosta's hard pass.

[demmiblue]

Judge says CNN has shown irreparable harm will occur. Says even if CNN sent another reporter, that “does not make the harm to Mr Acosta any less real."

BIG: Judge Kelly rules Jim Acosta’s first amendment rights overrules the White House’s right to have orderly press conferences.

And here it is! Kelly says plaintiffs have shown likelihood fifth amendment rights were violated, and there is irreparable harm.

1. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a long, very bad day for Donald Trump. nt

3. Yup! Let's end the month out with indictments against Don Jr.

Perfect storm!

4. The icing on the cake: the judge is a Trump appointee.

2. It was the right, and ONLY call to make.

It’s clear as day, the first amendment. If the judge has sided with the White House, it would have set an extremely dangerous precident that reporters can be banned for any reason.

6. Apparently, the ruling only pertains to his Fifth Amendment rights (due process). n/t

5. I hope so.

May he have many, many bad days ahead. Note: that includes his smarmy family and Sarah Sanders, and ad nauseum for all the rest.

7. More to the point I wish the judge had mentioned

That the reason the pass was pulled was totally made up and essentially accused him of assault.

8. All judges should now pay attention

To what he does next. He'll go against his ruling? Or will he'll just refuse to have any more press conferences, then attack this judge.
