美国最负盛名的政治家族之一——肯尼迪家族——加入了针对特朗普政府的诉讼,试图阻止总统建造这座250英尺高的凯旋门。
9名肯尼迪家族成员周二向华盛顿特区联邦法院提交了动议,要求阻止该凯旋门的修建,理由是这座建筑会遮挡他们位于阿灵顿国家公墓的墓地的视野。
“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统正试图非法竖立一座巨型凯旋门,这将永久性地遮挡并破坏阿灵顿国家公墓内为纪念肯尼迪家族而设立的现有墓地和纪念碑的历史景观视线,同时也会遮挡数十万阵亡美国英雄纪念碑的景观视线,”家族成员在诉讼文件中写道。
特朗普此前曾表示,他打算在两年后卸任前完成这座凯旋门的修建,但这一激进的时间线因法律挑战而变得复杂,其中包括由退伍军人和文物保护主义者提起的另一桩备受关注的诉讼。

肯尼迪家族加入了其他反对者的行列,这些反对者表示,这座巨大凯旋门的规模和选址会破坏由林肯纪念堂、阿灵顿府邸和罗伯特·E·李纪念堂组成的一排国家地标建筑的景观视线,这座高耸的纪念碑还会破坏阿灵顿国家公墓葬礼的庄严肃穆氛围。
“这座拟议中的巨型凯旋门是对阿灵顿国家公墓以及在此安息的英雄们的非法干涉,包括肯尼迪兄弟和埃塞尔·肯尼迪的墓地及纪念碑。只有国会拥有宪法赋予的权力来批准如此大规模的侵占行为,”代表肯尼迪家族成员的民主捍卫者基金会的诺曼·艾森和史蒂夫·乔纳斯表示。“今天,肯尼迪家族成员与本案的其他诉讼方联合起来,以保护这一历史遗址,并捍卫法治和权力分立原则。”
安葬在阿灵顿国家公墓的肯尼迪家族成员包括约翰·F·肯尼迪总统、第一夫人杰奎琳·肯尼迪·奥纳西斯、参议员罗伯特·F·肯尼迪及其妻子埃塞尔·肯尼迪、参议员爱德华·M·肯尼迪,以及约瑟夫·P·肯尼迪中尉二世。

One of America’s most storied political dynasties — the Kennedy family — is joining a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block construction of the president’s 250-foot triumphal arch.
Nine members of the Kennedy family filed a motion Tuesday in federal court in DC, to stop the arch from being built, arguing that it obstructs views of the family’s gravesites in Arlington National Cemetery.
“President Donald J. Trump is attempting to unlawfully erect a massive arch that will permanently cast shadows over and damage historically significant sightlines to the existing gravesites and memorials established in the Kennedy family’s honor at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as to the memorials of hundreds of thousands of fallen American heroes,” the family wrote in the filing.
Trump has previously said he intends to complete the arch before he leaves office in two years, but the aggressive timeline has been complicated by legal challenges, including another high-profile lawsuit brought by veterans and preservationists.

The Kennedy family joins other opponents who say the enormous scale of the arch and the location would disrupt the sightline of the row of national landmarks that includes the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington House and the Robert E. Lee Memorial, and that the towering monument will break the solemnity of funerals of Arlington National Cemetery.
“The gigantic proposed arch is an illegal interference with Arlington National Cemetery and the heroes remembered there, including at the gravesites and memorials of the Kennedy brothers and Ethel Kennedy. Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize an intrusion of this magnitude,” said Norman Eisen and Steve Jonas of Democracy Defenders Fund, who are representing the Kennedy family members. “Today, members of the Kennedy family are joining with the other litigants in this case to protect this historic site–and to defend the rule of law and separation of powers.”
Members of the Kennedy family who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery include President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel Kennedy, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.
