#3 And a judge can do that ? Isn't the White House business sole jurisdiction of the Presidential staff and the secret service ?

#4 It's a naked violation of the separation of powers. Just as the judge has a bailiff to remove disruptive individuals from his court room, the president's residence is his office to decide who comes and goes.

Unfortunately we now are ruled by people who sit for life and are 'de facto' unaccountable to the people. You can not call that a republic or a democracy. If you ever get a chance to reestablish a republic make sure everyone has term limits and is subject to direct accountability.

#5 This excerpt from Judge Contreras' Wiki bio could possibly explain a few things:

Rudolph Contreras (born December 6, 1962) is a United States District judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. He also serves as a judge on the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

And yes of course, an Obama nominee.

#6 Trump should tell the Judge to take his ruling, roll it tightly, light it, then shove it where the sun doesn't shine and permanently bar this reporter from the grounds.

#7 Does this guy have anything to do with rubber-stamping FISA warrants from ClusterFGate?

#10 Does this guy have anything to do with rubber-stamping FISA warrants from ClusterFGate?

The name sounds familiar. If so, it sounds like he was more of a rubber stamp than actual judge. He might be in for a little scrutiny.

#13 So, give Karem his press pass. But never, ever call on him or even acknowledge his presence. Totally ignore him.

#14 Contraries was one of the signers of the original warrant to surveil Carter Page
He also recused himself from the process when his cozy relationship with Peter Strzok came to light
He was mentioned several times in the Strzok Page text messages

#15 Judges should have term limits, age limits (yes, age limits, there should be no public officials allowed to serve into their 80s or 90s, I simply don't care what the excuse might be), and a clearly established and easy to use impeachment system.

#16 Trump should just completely ignore him.

And stop the judge's paycheck.

#18 Trump should FLOOD the press passes with 1000s of reporters.

#19 ...and then move the Press office to another facility to accommodate them all (which will not be the White House).
