华盛顿讯——一名联邦法官周二再次阻止约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心董事会将特朗普总统的名字刻在建筑上,认定一项拟将特朗普名字添加到建筑上的决议“违反了联邦法院命令和国会通过的一项法案”。

美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀支持众议员乔伊斯·比蒂的诉求。比蒂是董事会成员,去年因特朗普对肯尼迪中心的改动提起诉讼。这位俄亥俄州民主党议员辩称,董事会近期表彰总统的举措违反了联邦法律,她的法律团队请求库珀发布紧急救济令,阻止相关改动。

“现命令被告不得在主楼刻上‘由唐纳德·J·特朗普翻新修复’字样,也不得将该校区更名为‘唐纳德·J·特朗普总统广场’,”库珀在一份长达22页的判决书中写道。“简言之,未经国会批准,被告不得在肯尼迪中心为特朗普总统或其他任何人、任何事物设立纪念标识。董事会的决议违反了联邦法院命令和国会通过的法案。”

该董事会由特朗普担任主席,成员包括他的内阁成员和盟友。董事会在8月通过一项决议,提议在建筑中心名称下方刻上“由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统翻新修复”字样,并在筹款额达到1亿美元门槛时,添加“由特朗普肯尼迪中心基金捐赠”的字样。该决议还提议将肯尼迪中心的场地命名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统广场”。

库珀拒绝就“由特朗普肯尼迪中心基金捐赠”字样是否可刻在建筑上作出裁决,理由是比蒂未能证明该短语“即便有可能,也会很快被刻上”。

在上月针对紧急动议的庭审中,代表比蒂的律师纳撒尼尔·泽林斯基称,董事会再次试图将特朗普名字刻在中心的行为是“似曾相识”,是对库珀今年早些时候发布的一项命令的“公然违抗”。该命令禁止关闭肯尼迪中心,并要求移除建筑上的特朗普名字。特朗普政府已就此前的裁决提起上诉。

司法部上月在法庭上表示,“这里不存在更名行为”,并辩称拟刻的字样是为了表彰特朗普,因为总统正在为白宫推动的一项大规模翻新项目持续开展筹款活动,以补充国会提供的2.57亿美元拨款。

Washington— A federal judge again blocked the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Board of Trustees from adding President Trump’s name on the building on Tuesday, finding that a proposed resolution to add Mr. Trump’s name to the building “bucks a federal court order and a statute Congress enacted.”

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper sided with Rep. Joyce Beatty, a board member who sued last year over Mr. Trump’s changes to the Kennedy Center. Beatty, an Ohio Democrat, argued that the board’s recent efforts to recognize the president violate federal law, and her legal team asked Cooper to issue emergency relief blocking the changes.

“Defendants are hereby enjoined from inscribing “renovated and restored by Donald J. Trump” on the main building or renaming the campus the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza,” Cooper wrote in a 22-page opinion. “Simply put, Defendants cannot install memorials for President Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress’s blessing. The board resolution bucks a federal court order and a statute Congress enacted.”

The board, which is chaired by Mr. Trump and is comprised of his Cabinet members and allies, approved a resolution in August that called for the inscription “Renovated and Restored by President Donald J. Trump” to be placed under the center’s name on the building and for the inscription “Endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund” to be added if a $100 million fundraising threshold is met. The resolution also calls for the Kennedy Center’s grounds to be named the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza.”

Cooper declined to rule on whether the inscription of “endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund” could be placed on the building, finding that Beatty did not show that the phrase would be placed on the building “imminently, if at all.”

During arguments on the emergency motion last month, Nathaniel Zelinsky, a lawyer representing Beatty, called the board’s vote to again put Mr. Trump’s name on the center “deja vu” and an act of “outright defiance” of an order from Cooper earlier this year that barred the center’s closure and ordered Mr. Trump’s name to be removed from the building. The Trump administration has appealed that earlier ruling.

The Justice Department said in court last month that “there is no renaming here,” and argued that the proposed inscriptions were meant to honor Mr. Trump because of ongoing and future fundraising efforts by the president to supplement a $257 million congressional stipend for a massive renovation project pushed by the White House.
