I agree.
Stop acting like you can quit this show. You're hooked.and I am not going to give it a second thought other than in this silly discussion. .
You inviting me to stay and argue with you some more?
Sorry, but I got better things to do tonight.
But you know I'll be back.
Alright. I am guilty as charged.

+rep from another "phony" ... wait ... damn ... You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to RJB again.
Actually, the dude was right when he called me on it. If I was genuinely as cool and didn't care as I pretend to be, I wouldn't be hanging out on this forum.

Not a "karate chop." More like a jut sao that you see in tai chi or wing chun. A light move designed to redirect energy as opposed to causing harm. That said, he didn't have a right to keep dominating the mic at that point. Had she been a man he wouldn't have tried that.

I propose a different style of communication during these Q&A's.
I am not a high tech kind of person but it seems like it would be pretty easy to eliminate the microphone all together. It could be as easy as the person speaking does so thru their phone or a White House supplied device. This goes thru a switchboard and can be shut off at the presidents request.
Problem solved.
*gasp* You mean...use common sense? Yeah. I was wondering why they didn't just cut the mic...but apparently they only had one mic going around. Your solution wouldn't require the WH intern. One less gubmint job. Can't have that!

It depends on your definition of assault. People have been charged with assaulting police officers for much less.
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Assault
Based on the interns reaction, I think one could reasonably argue that his move caused apprehension...At Common Law, an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact.
Generally, the essential elements of assault consist of an act intended to cause an apprehension of harmful or offensive contact that causes apprehension of such contact in the victim.

Of course in the real world -- not legal world -- I'd laugh at this as "assault" but I haven't seen Acosta be a big proponent of ending such shenanigans.... So maybe he deserves to reap what he has sowed.

That's how I see it. As much as I would love to see Acosta go down, I dislike victimization. Hell I saw a video of of person charged with resisting arrest for raising their hand to block a billy club.
...
From a natural law point of view (not this twisted legal nonsense of cop worship we have) there is a natural right of self defense against a billy club being brought down on your head. What right did Acosta have to hold on to that microphone?

Maybe Infowars should sue them too.
It's a public microphone.
Not sure if you're being serious or trolling. If you're using the "public microphone" argument then what is the point of a press pass? Why can't Snoop Dog just walk up in there, grab the mic and start rapping? I can't dominate a "public street" for as long as I want. A police officer (a member of the executive branch) can come and tell me to "move it along" if I decide to park my car there indefinitely.

Trolling. Step 2 is explaining how, as a means of transmitting messages, that microphone should be under the control of the post office as per the constitution. It's actually a less stupid argument than claiming that he assaulted her by karate chopping her arm, which is really saying something.
I have no issue with him losing his WH press pass. His turn was up. However I see him more as a jackass than a criminal.
...
FTR only Dannno used the "karate chop" argument. You don't have to cause harm or intend to cause harm to someone to be guilty of the definition of assault. Corey Lewindowsky is a prime example of someone charged with assault without causing or intending to cause harm.
Also what does the post office have to do with this? This is a White House microphone, not a post office microphone. Microphones didn't exist at the time the constitution was written, but the executive branch does have delegated authority under the constitution to purchase and control equipment necessary for its function, be that a White House horse and carriage, a White House airplane (Air Force One) or a White House Microphone.

Maybe our assault laws should change to not cover what they actually cover. No argument from me on that. But CNN needs to be consistent then.

Precisely.
It's a running joke regarding Swordsmyth's... "creative" interpretations of the constitution.
There is nothing creative about it, the Post Office would be doing its job with modern equipment.

Actually, I described it as a "light karate chop" because that is the motion his arm took when he struck her arm with his hand.
The reason is because a karate chop is a universally recognized arm motion, whereas references to obscure forms are martial arts and lesser known maneuvers doesn't make any sense to mention.
There are two reasons for doing this.
First, it is an accurate depiction of the arm motion and strike.
Second, seeing leftists defend Acosta's actions by arguing that it wasn't a "karate chop" is entertaining because he did actually lightly karate chop her arm. Typically a karate chop is a full force strike, and this was not a full force strike. That is their argument, that it wasn't a full force strike, and that is some funny $#@!.

To me the only interesting part of this fiasco is the question of free speech. My initial reaction is that Trump could hand pick his own team of reporters and it wouldn't be a violation of the 1st amendment.
He could never hold another press conference if he wanted.

I agree. The government can't prevent people from speaking but they don't have to let people into the WH.
That being said I'll bet CNN tries to claim 1st amendment violation.
