CNN’s Harlow on Network Suing W.H.: ‘This Is Not About Politics, this Is About Constitutional Rights’

EXCERPT:

HARLOW: “I think, Ted, we should remind our viewers this is not about politics. This is about constitutional rights. Your co-counsel representing CNN in this case is Ted Olson who represented President Bush in Bush V. Gore and won that case for President Bush.”
BOUTROUS: “Exactly. And ted Olson and I, we come from different political viewpoints, actually, even though we have been partners for 30 years. That’s the whole point. The First Amendment is meant to allow all viewpoints, so everyone. So this ruling will protect everyone in the press and every citizen, no matter what their political affiliation, so they get as much information as they can get so they can govern themselves. Exactly. This is not a political issue. It is a First Amendment issue that is really important to our society."
