The Constitution was written and ratified to protect the rights of The People to speak and print their speech, freely. Gradually, corporate litigation (Railroad companies) over income taxation, combined with legalese, has inserted corporations into our political process and campaigns, while equating "persons" with corporations. Meanwhile, corporations are actively censoring speech they oppose. The 1st amendment does not protect the rights of private property (corporations), and its agents (Jim Acosta, for example) even though they conveniently refer to themselves as, "the press." The Constitution protects the rights of The People, men and women. Laura Loomer has more of a right to be in that press room than any of the corporate agents that sit on the board and decide who gets press credentials.
