"The judge granted the AP's request for an injunction to force the White House to reinstate the AP at Oval Office and Air Force One press events.

"[T]he Court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists"be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere"it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints. The Constitution requires no less," U.S. District Court Judge Trevor N. McFadden wrote in his opinion."

This was found to be unconstitutional in his first admin, too.

Real journalists are never going to be Trump loyalists.

This is a Trump-appointed Judge, btw.

Who should now be watching out for a Loyalty Impeachment.

How dare these judges interpret the law!!!

If the president does it then it's not illegal. It's right there in the Second Corinthians.

How dare these judges tell Trumpy he cannot do something that's unconstitutional. Who do they think they are? Judges? In a court of law? Phooey!

Off with their heads!

Then deport them!
