Judge hands CNN victory in its bid to restore Jim Acosta's White House press pass

17. "once the White House opened up the grounds to reporters, the First Amendment applied."

I mentioned here (this thread) - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142203979#post8 about something that had been bandied about before inauguration -

This also may touch on an early issue in this administration just before inauguration, where it had been suggested that the press briefings be held outside of the WH at another location. On one side, actually following through with that would have made the "excuse" to pull credentials, truly moot vs the current argument of having a right to "control access" to the WH mansion itself.

So it will be interesting to see if they move the press out of the WH altogether (and perhaps face another lawsuit and real inability to "control access" ) or what.
