Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin just crushed CNN’s lawsuit against President Trump and other officials over the ouster of the network’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta.

This says it all:

I just read CNN’s lawsuit against the administration over Jim Acosta.

It’s a very weak case, but if they get before an Obama or Clinton district judge, who knows.

CNN hired Ted Olson’s firm, and he has signed onto the lawsuit. Olson was hired for a few reasons:

1. As a former Reagan official and lawyer for Bush in Bush-Gore, CNN hopes to make the PR case that this a bipartisan matter;

2. CNN hopes to make the PR case that it is upholding the Constitution against a rogue administration; and,

3. CNN has employed a top Supreme Court litigator.

Nonetheless, it is a ridiculous suit.

CNN still has reporters at the White House and in the presidential press conferences; Acosta does not have a constitutional right to be physically present in the press room, anymore than the scores of media outlets that do not; Acosta can watch the press conference from outside the White House grounds as they are televised; the president cannot be compelled by any court to actually call on any particular reporter during a press conference; Acosta does not have a constitutional right to disrupt the press conference with his various antics anymore than any other reporter; and, a president is not constitutionally compelled to hold a presidential press conference.

The courts should stay out of this on separation of powers grounds, among other things.

No one is preventing Acosta from reporting or CNN from broadcasting.

Levin is right.

This is a ridiculous lawsuit, but if it gets in the hands of an Obama appointed judge then who knows how it might turn out.

However, a higher court would almost immediately slap this down.

No one is infringing on Jim Acosta’s constitutional rights, and no one has the right to attend a White house press conference or ever get called on.

This lawsuit is a CNN directed media circus that will backfire on them, just like every other thing they’ve tried to “get” President Trump.
