I'm not sure if any court case dictates the structure of press corps, but either way the court is wrong and is overstepping their authority over the executive. The president isn't required to have press conferences at all.
Their creation was specifically to favor some press over others. They simply wanted their circle to have that power instead of the government. But at least the government is chosen by the people. The press corp is inherently an elitist anti-democratic group.
Nah. He can ban whoever he wants. (i.e. the WHCA)
He just doesn't because then they wouldn't cover his events at all.
WHCA is an old-boys club for when people mainly watched "the big 3 networks" and needs to be replaced with rotating invites.
