Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
A federal judge in Washington D.C. ruled that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts must remove President Donald Trump's name from the building's facade and all official branding, determining that the board's decision to add it was illegal. Judge Christopher R. Cooper issued a 94-page ruling stating that the law passed by Congress establishing the performing arts center made it "crystal clear" that the institution should be named after Kennedy. The magistrate emphasized that any name change at the arts center can only occur with prior authorization from Congress.
