After a judge ordered in an initial ruling that the White House must restore CNN reporter Jim Acostas press pass, the White House said it would temporarily do so but maintained that Acosta does not have a right to access the White House.
The White House also called for decorum during press conferences.
Today, the court made clear that there is no absolute First Amendment right to access the White House. In response to the court, we will temporarily reinstate the reporters hard pass. We will also further develop rules and processes to ensure fair and orderly press conferences in the future, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. There must be decorum at the White House.

CNN's suit is based on the first amendment, and that case is still in process.

2. If a reporter is called upon, their question must only contain words of two syllables or fewer, and the question must take 30 seconds of less to ask.
3. The Grand and Glorious Ruler of the Known Universe will then consider whether to answer the question. If he does decide that the question is one he chooses not to answer he may simply choose another reporter or, if the question is one that he deems irrelevant or insultant, he may declare it "OB" (for Out of Bounds), at which point the reporter asking the OB question must immediately move to the back of the room and will not be called upon again during the session.
4. Any reporter who asks what The 2GROTKN deems to be a "follow up question" (which would be an insult imply that 2GROTKS did not answer the the earlier question) will told FU (for Follow Up) and told they will not be called upon for the remainder of the Presser and at least the next two Presser.
(I'm sure others can figure out additional rules to promote fair and orderly rules and bring decorum to the White House.)
