BREAKING: Why Judge FORCES Trump to CHANGE KENNEDY CENTER NAME Back to ORIGINAL?! | lewis explainsđ
We begin this hour with a troubling reality: a lame-duck president defying not just long-standing presidential norms, but the law itselfâwhile his administration and a major political party stand aside. This week, that defiance took physical form when Donald Trumpâs name was added to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
At first glance, the change looks permanent: new signage, a revised website, public celebration. But appearances are not law.
The Kennedy Center was created and named by acts of Congress. Its name is written into federal statute, and only Congressâspecifically the Senateâcan legally change it.
This renaming did not happen through legislation, debate, or public consent. It happened through a board vote, allegedly stacked with loyalists, where even a sitting member of Congress claims she was silenced.
That is not governanceâit is branding over law.
The Senateâs refusal to act is not weakness; it is restraint. Because in a republic, speed does not equal legitimacy. A sign can be mounted overnight. The law cannot. And history is not rewritten by egoâit is earned.
