@washingtonpost: The Kennedy Center’s decision to immediately close its doors for roughly two years of repairs is facing a new legal challenge Wednesday, escalating the fight over President Donald Trump’s transformation of the national cultural institution. Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), a Kennedy Center trustee who has repeatedly challenged Trump’s transformation of the institution in court, requested an emergency hearing, arguing that center officials closed the building despite a federal judge’s explicit directive that they first obtain his approval. “It seems Defendants may be violating the ‘clear and unambiguous order of the Court,’” lawyers Nathaniel Zelinsky and Norm Eisen wrote in the emergency motion. Hours later, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered center officials to explain the closure by 10 a.m. Thursday. He said he would hold a hearing if necessary.

Since the current board isn't solvent enough, or comptent enough, to run the center, it's okay to replace them with a group who will ignore the felon-in-chief.
