On Tuesday, CNN filed a lawsuit against President Trump and other members of his administration calling for the immediate restoration of Jim Acosta's press credentials, which the White House revoked after a heated exchange between Acosta and the president last week.
Supporters of CNN's lawsuit argue the White House's action is a blatant attack on press freedom and the First Amendment, that it sets a dangerous precedent, and that there's no evidence Acosta's behavior merits a ban. In contrast, the critics of CNN's lawsuit contend Acosta's behavior has gone too far, that there is no First Amendment threat, and that the White House needs some way to maintain order at press conferences.
