Kennedy Nepo Crones Sue Trump to Block Construction of National Cemetery Arch, Whining That It... Might Cast Shadows on the Graves of Kennedys

It's at times like this where I think, maybe the French Revolution was a good idea.

RFK Jr.'s siblings sue Trump to stop 'Triumphal Arch' from 'casting shadows' on family graves

Robert and Ethel Kennedy, President Kennedy, Senator Ted Kennedy, WWII casualty Joe Kennedy were all laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Arch would "also cast a shadow over our democratic principles," family says.

Well we can't have shadows falling on the graves of aristocrats!

Seven of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s siblings, plus his nephew and cousin, are suing President Trump, the Interior Department and National Park Service among others to stop Trump's planned "Triumphal Arch," citing its unavoidable blocking of light over their family's graves at Arlington National Cemetery, which are "sacred spaces."
"Our parents, Robert and Ethel Kennedy, and our uncles, President John F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, are laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Our uncle Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., who lost his life serving our country in World War II, is also memorialized there," RFK Jr.'s siblings Rory Kennedy and Maxwell Kennedy said on behalf of the family in a statement released by their lawyers at Democracy Defenders Fund.
"We believe Donald Trump has violated the laws and procedures established by Congress to protect this most sacred national memorial," they said, portraying the arch as an attack on democracy itself.
"A towering arch casting shadows across the graves of our father, mother, and uncles, as well as the graves of so many who have served our country, would also cast a shadow over our democratic principles, undermining the safeguards established by our elected representatives to protect this hallowed ground for generations to come," they said.
The fund makes clear the family sees Trump's plan as a personal affront.
"The arch would block views of the Kennedy Gravesites and Eternal Flame from Arlington Memorial Bridge -- a sightline specially chosen by the Kennedy family," it says. "The arch would also cast a shadow over the Kennedys' graves, especially in the early morning when the family traditionally visits."

...
Though the "activist" U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan temporarily blocked the start of construction for at least two weeks in response to Virginia and D.C. legal action, the Trump administration is "confident we will be fully vindicated as this litigation proceeds," Ingle said.

21 The greatest achievement of the Arch of Kennedy Anger is how it will be maneuvered to cast shadows over their graves at all times of day and every season.

Truly an engineering miracle.

The Kennedy graves already have a shadow across them. I hadn't realized that such a thicket of them had grown up there. Strange.

Say, what's Ted doing in Arlington anyway? He wasn't in the military, he maxed out as senator, and was demonstrably a miserable coward and traitor.. After Robert was killed, the family made Ted get up off the living room sofa and get busy running for office. So he drank and womanized in Georgetown instead of Boston.

Fun fact: Ted's eternal flame doesn't have a gas bill. They stuck a wick in his navel, and the alcohol will burn for centuries.

127 He keeps trying to memorialize himself because he knows it is not happening when he is gone.

The Republican party will make him a saint just like they did with reagan. By the time he finally croaks on the toilet, they'll still do it and we'll be dealing with their revisionist nonsense for decades

"That was a President who didn't fear speaking his mind! That was a President who wasn't afraid to bring God back into the White House!" I can see it already.

this lawsuit almost certainly won't work...but it doesn't need to. It just needs to delay things long enough for trump to no longer have the ability to build things.

after Trump is gone, all monuments and anything to memorialize him will be torn down.

Triumph over what? The poors? The charges? The impeachments?

The whole point of it is that it would cast shadows over military graves. He sees himself as above them.

Why is he so obsessed with the Kennedys

He wants to be JFK, desperately. Why do you think he made such a big deal about the bandage on his ear? He wants the credit without the brain matter required of being a genuinely memorable president.

129 "The arch would block views of the Kennedy Gravesites and Eternal Flame from Arlington Memorial Bridge -- a sightline specially chosen by the Kennedy family," it says. "The arch would also cast a shadow over the Kennedys' graves, especially in the early morning when the family traditionally visits."

-----------------

So the Kennedys consider themselves more important in American history than George Washington? Washington is buried at his own home while these quasi-royals demand a national spot that outshines everybody else. Since they object they should be disinterred and re-buried at their Hyannis Port compound where they will not be overshadowed by anyone.

135
Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. dramatically expanded his fortune during the Great Depression and the 1940s by pulling out of the stock market before the 1929 crash, short-selling stocks, and rolling his capital into distressed commercial and residential real estate.

A single Chicago building - The Merchandise Mart - became the financial backbone of the family, generating millions in steady rent every year—and eventually selling in 1998 for around $625 million.

Kennedy set up massive irrevocable trusts for each of his nine children, ensuring none of them ever had to worry about money or hold a traditional job to support themselves.

That steady real estate income paid for the costly, groundbreaking political campaigns of Jack, Bobby, and Ted, allowing them to run for the House, Senate, and Presidency without relying solely on outside donors.

It continues to pay through today.

The American Kennedy's also descended from the broader Gaelic O'Kennedy heritage, rather than royal sovereignty.

Joseph Jr. and younger brother, President John Kennedy, deserve their due. Otherwise, the not so great 'clan' is solely in name vs merit.

160 One structural point that cuts against the "they rewrote the Constitution" reading, though not in a way that flatters Republicans: the referral is the tell. If the resolution had the votes it would be on the floor this week. Sending it to Judiciary means leadership has the count and the conference would rather not put a recorded vote in the file. Crow saying "just fire him" out loud is a member describing a vote-count problem, not a constitutional theory.
The more interesting question is what Hill is managing. A seven-term member from deep-red Arkansas who just won narrowly and won't rule out a yes isn't weighing Hegseth's war conduct. He is pricing a primary. That repositioning is already visible in the 2028 field opening up after the midterm losses, and it is the same reflex in a different suit: one factual account of it, with separate Left and Right readings of what it means, is here: https://tinyurl.com/2yb96qt9
