Judge rules that Washington DC performing arts venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress
A judge on Friday ordered the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the prestigious Washington DC venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress.
US district judge Christopher Cooper in Washington directed the Trump administration to take down all physical signage bearing Trump’s name and to eliminate any references to a “Trump Kennedy Center” from official materials within 14 days.
“The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so,” Cooper wrote in a 94-page opinion. “Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.”
wouldn’t dems have to, like, win elections to do much more than they’re doing rn with temporary injunctions and whatnot? I’m not saying they WILL do more, I’m skeptical that they CAN.
Win more elections and toss shitheels like Fetterman into an industrial tumble dryer at a minimum. As of right now most states are doing what they can with how utterly broken things are, governor of Colorado not withstanding. Short of disregarding interstate commerce, raising militia, and stealing military equipment there ain’t too much that can be done, also even my militaristic bloodthirsty ass knows that’d be a bad idea right now given how the economy is probably going to implode sooner or later regardless.
Yeah, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. I just wish he’d make more mistakes faster and that midterms came sooner.
Assuming there are midterms, which I hope to god there are. The alternative is very bloody, and while my teenaged self thought he was ready to die in a ditch for his ideals my thirtysomething self would like to have the joy of building a just society rather than the satisfaction of dying for the hope of one.
Personally I wish to build a society that these profligates would hate and allow them to live long enough that they can witness it and weap. Y’know before lashing them to a cross or sacrificing them to the gods.
You and I see eye to eye. Let them witness a better world and despair.
