(127,079 posts)Kennedy Center Loses Bid to Halt Order to Remove Trumps Name

Holly Barker
Legal Reporter
... The Kennedy Centers motion for a stay, filed Thursday, claimed the board has strong arguments to raise on appeal and argued it would be wasteful and confusing for the public to force the center to remove the signage only to replace it, should the center prevail before the D.C. Circuit.
Judge Christopher Casey Cooper of the US District Court for the District of Columbia denied the request Friday.
The center also claimed removing the Trump signage could threaten the centers fundraising efforts. But Cooper already said there was no evidence showing that current or future donations depended on Trumps name being on the building.
Coopers May 29 order declared the boards unilateral renaming of the Kennedy Center unlawful and gave the board two weeks to either comply with the injunction or appeal it.
The center initially took steps to comply but then reversed course just before the Friday deadline ...

(183,616 posts)Hegseth's still renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War is being used to justify the renaming of the Kennedy Center. This is such a weak legal argument that it made me smile

allegorical oracle
(6,672 posts)but he clearly doesn't comprehend what a "memorial" is. So, if his name is removed from the Kennedy Center, will he opt to add it to the Lincoln or Jefferson Memorials?
Memorials are for dead folks. Trump is unfortunately still with us. This whole ordeal just proves he's one of the dumbest people who's ever been POTUS.

(2,620 posts)There are 18 letters and one period to be removed. Those letters should be given to a charity that can then auction them off as a fund raiser. Let me place the first bid. I bid $100 for the period. In this case, no small thing.
our country is in deep trouble when we are left to exhilaration at seeing the refurbishing of shameful damage done to the name and structure of the KC. The horrific reality unfolded before judicious, astute citizens is the profligate pandering given this tyrant to proceed with his vanity projects since 1/20/25.
They demean the the right of the people to preserve whats left of our democracy and his pompous, destructive endeavors ridicule unaltered, factual history.
