“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it, ” District Judge Christopher R. Cooper said in a 94-page decision in May, while adding that the decision made by the Board of Trustees violated “Congress’s unequivocal mandate.” Judge Cooper rejected a last-minute appeal from the board to keep the name, finding it unlikely to succeed.
Norman Eisen, one of the attorneys representing Rep Beatty, said in the latest motion filing that there is “serious reason for concern” that the center is “not undertaking a good faith effort to comply with the Court’s order.”
The restoration of the iconic Kennedy Center’s name is perhaps the most visible example of the courts pushing back on Trump’s aggressive efforts to reshape wide swaths of the federal government and Washington, D.C. life.
Eisen tells TIME the fight to keep the Kennedy Center’s original name is about defending the rule of law and putting a check on Trump’s corruption, while also paying respect to the building’s namesake.
Along with restoring the center’s name, Judge Cooper also reversed the board’s decision to shut it down for two years beginning on July 5. But the internal memo from the center’s Office of General Counsel disputed the judge’s ruling, saying the court “did not rule that the Center must stay open during the renovations” and that it would provide further guidance “shortly.”
“There's no need to close it, as far as we can tell, except to spare Donald Trump of the embarrassment that his name is toxic with artists and audiences,” Eisen says.
