Federal Judge Orders White House To Temporarily Restore Press Access To Jim Acosta

[RoadRunner79]

The 5th amendment covers the following: "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"

I guess the judge focused on the "liberty" and "without due process of law". The point was his press pass was taken for no good reason. That deprives him of his ability to do his job, ergo depriving him of liberty.

As I said, I think that is a fairly liberal interpretation with no regard for the spirit in which the amendment it is written.  I don't see white house press conference as a liberty, but a privilege.  As I had asked, if I was invited to the white house, and then I said or did something which then proceeded with them asking me to leave; would that really be denying me liberty as afforded by the constitution?  I also do not think that if I asked for a press pass, because I am reporting about it here, that I am being denied my liberty if I am denied that pass.  I don't see where due process (in the context of the amendment)  comes into it.   If you want to get that liberal in interpretation, then Acosta was denying that intern from doing her job, by pushing her away.
