As predictable as anti-semitic demonstrations at Columbia University, a Federal Judge has issued a nationwide stay on Trump’s plans to build a Ballroom at the White House.
Ruling from Hawaii, Judge Lucy Lawless ruled in favor of a long list of plaintiffs who had brought suit. Here are some of those who sued and their reasons for the action.
State of California – Because the ballroom plan does not include a windmill next to it for green power.
State of Oregon – Because California sued.
Obama Presidential Library Committee – Finishing Trump’s Ballroom before Barack Obama’s $800 million Presidential Center would tarnish Obama’s reputation.
NAACP – The original White House was built by slaves so an addition should be built only by descendants of slaves.
LGBTQTIA? Coalition – The ballroom plan does not include set-asides for their communities.
A.O.C. – “Until every American has a ballroom, no one should have a ballroom. I’m sure that’s in the constitution or something.”
Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences – Demands that all contractors meet the same quota system that they use for Oscar nominees. The resulting ballroom will be crappy, but at least it will be fairer.
Filing friend-of-the court briefs to support the proposed ballroom were the Fred Astaire Dance Studios, and Arthur Murray Dance Centers.
