Judge says Kennedy Center board broke law putting Trump’s name on building, blocks closure

[cigaretteman]

A federal judge ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s name was illegally added to the Kennedy Center and blocked the administration from closing the cultural and arts venue for major renovations.


U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C., ruled that the Kennedy Center board’s March 16 vote to close the facility was “ill-informed and seemingly preordained” with no regard for its legal obligations.



“The trustees might have assessed the propriety of closure in a number of prudent ways. This was not one,” he wrote.


Cooper also concluded that the board “overstepped its statutory bounds” by unilaterally adding Trump’s name to the center. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it, he said.


Cooper held hearings in late April for parallel lawsuits challenging the project. One was filed by a group of cultural and historic preservation organizations. The other was brought Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who serves as an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center’s board. He ruled in favor of Beatty’s request but rejected the other challenge.

Another Obama judge. At least this story doesn't include sex in the judge's chambers. That's progress for Obama's legacy.

This is your takeaway? Trump blatantly breaks the law and you say, what about Obama?

They should drop the Kennedy name. Honoring an alleged serial adulterer is not a good look. Yet he's revered by the left, particularly by smitten liberal women. Very weird.

I don't know the law but adding Trump’s name was in very poor taste. Same with the Trump $250 bill if that ever happens.

Trump is a pompous narcissist and can be an embarrassment to the nation when he does things like this.

That is also a stain on the democrat party's legacy as a whole based on the epstein files.

The trump sign is still up on the trump kennedy center. The board voted for the name change so all proper procedure was followed here. The obama judge will ultimately be reversed.

Nobody (Trump) cares what the courts say.

Can be? He’s a psychopathic narcissist who would throw his own family under a literal bus to line his own pockets. You exist only to serve him. Outside of that role, you’re either a mortal enemy or you do not exist to him. And all of this was crystal clear in 2015.

I call Trump a pompous narcissist and you say I only exist to serve him. I think you need help.

That was a generic "you". As I went on to say, if you don't serve him, "you're either a mortal enemy or you do not exist to him."

 

[Huey Grey 2]

I call Trump a pompous narcissist and you say I only exist to serve him. I think you need help.

But it's not can be. Everything he does is to screw other people over to enrich himself. Everything. He needs to go and face trial. Same with those who helped him.

Said it before, Ill say it again, when we get a little breathing room from this time/era, folks will look back and do study after study on how so many people were willing to argue that the emperor (wanna be) had clothes on.

On this episode of "You Know You're an Incompetent Fascist Dictator When ..."

- You lose every legal challenge when you didn't personally appoint that judge ... and you cry whenever a judge isn't appointed by you, because you won't get the same preferential treatment.

No tax on tips, OT, and SS for low to moderate income people screwed everybody over and enriched him?

You need help.

I didn’t get a tax cut but I don't think I'm his mortal enemy. He doesn't even know me.

You - the specific "you" - seem to be looking for a reason to be aggrieved. Let me try one more time... "you're either a mortal enemy or you do not exist to him."

Hope that helps.
