A Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees, filed an emergency motion in federal court on Thursday, seeking to halt the project, alleging that it violates multiple federal preservation and planning laws.

The Voorhees lawsuit seeking to halt the project argues that Trump bypassed laws meant to protect national landmarks and public transparency.

At stake is whether a sitting president can unilaterally alter one of the country’s most symbolically important buildings, or whether the "People’s House" must remain subject to the same review and accountability standards that govern other federal projects.

No they ruled that a president can't do crimes

...if the act is relevant to performing his role as president.

Still fucked up, but nothing about this was required to perform his role.

"In order to grift harder and accept more donations from the middle east, I needed to build a ballroom we could dance with young girls together in where the filthy common folk couldn't see. It's really just for work. You should thank me"

Building a monument to his best mate Epstein will help him in his daily duties ...of eating hamberders, golfing, sex trafficking kids, and planning the demise of his enemies (real, or perceived).

Random, but do you think government shutdown happening at the same time as demolition is a coincidence?

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I am actually surprised whatever office is supposed to govern national monuments and such hasn't been shut down during the DOGE hecatomb...

Well if they're looking to stop the demolition, it's a little late

Throw it on the pile with the other lawsuits.

No judge will order an arrest warrant against him, cause no matter if the police carries it out or refuses, it could trigger a civil war.

But when you can't get arrested, all other rulings and convictions are just pieces of paper.
