A federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to stop blocking The Associated Press’ from presidential events refused Friday to take immediate steps to get White House officials to comply — an incremental development in a two-month dispute between the global news agency and administration officials over access.
The case, which has significant free-speech implications under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment, centers on the government blocking AP’s access to cover events because the outlet won’t rename the Gulf of Mexico in its reports.
U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, who handed the AP a victory last week in its efforts to end the ban, said it’s too soon to say that Donald Trump is violating his order — as the AP suggests.
Lol. This country is filled to the brim with cowards renouncing their oaths.
Home of the brave my fucking ass.
They just meant the natives…not courageous people lol
It should be “the land of the free and the former home of the brave”.
True, we’re cowards all the way down.
I dunno. Bernie’s kinda badass. And AOC rules.
For sure, there are folks acting courageously, but by and large people are cowards.
