@CIVXNEWS@BernieSanders Also, my language supports the Supreme Court precedent. My position on President Trump is and always has been that he comes off as a narcissistic jackass. I trust him no more than I trust any politician, lawyer, or CEO... which is not one bit.
@CIVXNEWS@BernieSanders Pell v. Procunier (1974)
Houchins v. KQED (1978)
And the press room is an access restricted non-public forum. With hundreds of active hard passes, and limited space. Now, is there maybe a better way? Sure... But access is not and has never been a guarantee.
@CIVXNEWS@BernieSanders Actually, the Supreme Courts exact words were "... right to print information obtained and gathered but does not guarantee access to gather that information." And they added that the press does not have any more right of access than a regular citizen.
@markhumooney@sarrah_bellus Didn't the Supreme Court decision in Houchins v. KQED (1978) render any precedent by the circuit court case of Sherrill v. Knight (1977) mute? The first amendment only guarantees the right of a free and FAIR press to print/publish, there is no guarantee of access.
@VanHollenForMD Democrats have never managed to lower costs.
Who's going to expose your (Dems) corruption that's been coming out all over the place?
When have you ever stood with workers? You stand with Union Bosses, not workers.
Lawless ICE operation? Have you actually looked at federal law?
@MichaelNY@CongressmanRaja@CNN@realDonaldTrump@Acosta@WhiteHouse@nytimes@DeptofWar No, it restricted what they could report. This is a pure restriction based on repeated proven incidents of falsely reporting and clipping statements. Access is not guaranteed, never has been... there are other news agencies still with their credentials that don't favor him still.
@RepJayapal Does your bill add removal of state and lower level sanctuary laws that are in conflict with and direct violation of federal law marking a constitutional violation of the state policy against the supremecy clause?
@ThisWeekABC Did this attorney happen to view the multiple, long standing rulings by the Supreme Court on this very thing? No? Maybe he should have his license revoked. Access to information is not a right, the ability to print information received/gained is.
@RBReich False... Democracy requires a free and FAIR press... I think he should ban every outlet with a 60% or higher favorable writing score for either party.
@1TXhntr@cspan You mean the incident in 2009 when they tried to block Fox from a press pool but every other network said if Fox wasn't their they wouldn't be either?
@cspan You mean like Obama tried to do in 2009 but every other network said they wouldn't attend the pool and so Fox was allowed to attend? What does it say that Fox had every networks support but these three don't seem to?
@brianstelter Please see Supreme Court rulings since 1965 on this exact thing. Now sit down, you all sound like toddlers throwing a tantrum because you aren't getting your way...
@smerconish I'm also curious, you ask what he doesn't want you talking about. I'm wondering why you want everyone focused so much on 3 news agencies out of hundreds... what are you and your party up to that you don't want the people to notice?
@smerconish Did you know that in 1965, 1974, and 1978 that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld that access to the information is not a right, only the freedom to publish the information you obtain? Try passing your civics class next time.
