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

[Angrboda]

I'm not a lawyer nor a judge, so in this case I am deferring to the authority and expertise of the judge in this matter that there exists a clear constitutional issue involved.

If that's the case - and that seems to be Khem's main angle too - then why bother discussing it further? Isn't it a settled issue for you?

OTOH, if you do want to discuss the issues, then why just fall back on this one judge's ruling?

Relying on rational justification is the first step in any argument or discussion. If Roadie's opinions are poorly justified, and I have a more justified opinion, it makes no sense to defer to an unjustified opinion. Or are you next going to suggest we not rely on facts and just simply make up whatever we want to believe and consider our discussion about this made up nonsense reasonable? Roadie was shot down both because his views were poorly justified and because his argument depended on a bare assertion, namely his views on what our jurisprudential values should be. I am having a discussion. You seem to want to defer to poorly justified nonsense simply to make things interesting. And you are lying when you imply that I am simply falling back on this one judge's ruling as I made it clear that I agreed that his ruling was not final. So stop misrepresenting my position.

Maybe you are having a discussion and in that discussion an argument is being made. The two aren't in conflict necessarily, but you seem to want to emphasize the former, whereas because of the quality of Roadie's arguments, I have focused on the latter.
