A federal judge has blocked construction of Donald Trump’s arch for 14 days after a final vote approving the structure passed late Thursday despite fierce opposition from citizens who voiced concern during a marathon public hearing.
The National Capital Planning Commission, one of two federal agencies that oversees architectural and design changes in Washington, gave the final green light to build the 250-foot monument at its virtual meeting on Thursday after more than 120 citizens, many of them veterans, lined up to plead with the panel to block the project.
Within an hour of its passage, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee who is overseeing a high profile lawsuit to stop construction, ruled that the administration, the defendants in the case, would be prohibited from “initiating, making or otherwise effectuating” any “construction-related activity” near the proposed site of the arch.
The elite can wait to have their monuments until every single person in the US, and preferably the world, is housed and fed.
Wonder if they start it anyway and see if anything happens. It’s one of the dumbest things and so vain of him like all the other projects and gold trim BS he does, and wastes tax revenue on all this trash and suffering he causes. Public funds should be used for good, not all this bad fruit from bad people. Warnings were given and foretold but ignored.
Tanya Chutkan, back at it again with the banhammer!
