Sherrill v. Knight, 569 F.2d 124 (D.C. Cir. 1977)
Binding Precedent
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that because White House press facilities are made publicly available to journalists, the First and Fifth Amendments require the Secret Service and Executive Office to articulate explicit, published standards before denying or revoking a press pass, along with a written statement of reasons and an opportunity to be heard.
