Last week, after this scene, the White House pulled the hard pass from CNN’s Chief Resistance Reporter Jim Acosta:
And with that, CNN wrapped Acosta up in a Snuggie made out of copies of the Constitution and filed a lawsuit:
BREAKING: CNN sues President Trump, demanding reporter Jim Acosta's return to the White House.

This morning, CNN filed a lawsuit against @realDonaldTrump and top aides. The White House has violated CNN and @Acosta's First Amendment rights of freedom of the press and Fifth Amendment rights to due process. Complaint: https://t.co/43oX6L8xA7 pic.twitter.com/RvJ0Cgh6oi

So if I’m understanding the liberal arguments about the Constitution correctly, the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to modern firearms because it was written with muskets in mind, but the First Amendment protects a drama queen cable net reporter from getting kicked out of the White House?
And by the way, Acosta has proven that he doesn’t need a White House pass to keep covering Trump:

I’m guessing the real reason Acosta wants his WH press credentials un-revoked is so CNN can get back to showing more of what Acosta thinks is the important story: Jim Acosta.
Also, CNN gets the vapors when Trump calls them “fake news,” but in their own lawsuit CNN proved why they’ve earned the title:
CNN lawsuit claims Acosta asked Trump whether he considers caravan an invasion. In fact, Acosta *told* Trump the caravan isn't an invasion and then asked POTUS why he characterized it that way pic.twitter.com/oYDJLHu4oc

MORE lies from CNN? Go figure.
In any case, it could be hilarious if this all ended up in court:
