Washington (CNN) A federal appeals court is standing by its ruling that President Donald Trump can't block Twitter users from viewing his social media account.

A majority of judges on the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday made the decision, reiterating a previous ruling from three judges on the court in July.

On Monday, the appellate court underlined how the Twitter account @realDonaldTrump is used for the President's official communications. Blocking people on Twitter, the court found, violates the First Amendment because it excludes people from interacting with the President in a public forum, according to a statement from a judge today and previous court opinions.

Judge Barrington Parker, a George W. Bush appointee to the appellate court, wrote on Monday that the case was unusual only because it involves Twitter. He pointed to Trump's tweets this year about foreign adversaries and the White House's responses to them.

Parker specifically highlighted a Trump tweet from January that said, "These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back."
