NOW: A federal judge in DC has ordered the White House to reinstate reporter Brian Karem's suspended press pass, finding he's likely to succeed in challenging the decision to temporarily revoke it after a Rose Garden incident documentcloud.org/documents/6380…
The judge found that based on the record, the White House had failed to give reporters enough notice of what kind of conduct would get hard passes pulled: "Thus, without any contextual guideposts, 'professionalism,' standing alone, remains too murky to provide fair notice here."
The judge granted the injunction (which the govt can appeal) based on the due process issue – he didn't reach Karem's broader argument that his comments in the Rose Garden that day (he had a heated exchange of words with Sebastian Gorka) were First Amendment-protected speech
The judge concludes by noting that a temporary press pass suspension might not seem like a big deal, but there's precedent already establishing that "the conferral of White House hard passes is no mere triviality"
