DOJ argues ballroom construction is unstoppable, and Trump could bulldoze Statue of Liberty...
…if he moved on it fast enough. Because who else in "the government" would do such a thing? From HuffPo:
Attorney Yaakov Roth, arguing on behalf of the Trump administration, argued that the group suing to stop the build, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, not only lacks the right, or standing, to sue, but at the end of the day, no one can stop the build — and if they wanted to, they should have tried doing so before the bulldozers were running.
“So, if [the government] just moves fast enough, no one has standing to challenge it even if they have a personal connection to a site?” Judge Patricia Millett said.
“That’s correct,” Roth said.
Doubling down, Judge Millett also pointedly asked Roth: "If the government decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors, that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the government moved too fast, nothing can be done?"
"I think that's right, yes," Roth said.

Getting some "Man in the High Castle" vibes from the DOJ here.

Like for example ... they created a country out of nothing. They wrote the Declaration of Independence and the first major parts of the Constitution (plus the Bill of Rights) as a revolutionary, jaw-dropping innovation to the world. They were THE BEATLES of the late 18th Century. Abraham Lincoln saved the Union, freed the slaves, and it cost him life. Plus Teddy Roosevelt ... I'm not exactly sure why he's there, but he has a great moustache!
Chump has done literally nothing to deserve such an honor. He posts shitty, whiny complaints on a shitty, worthless forum that nobody reads and no companies buy ads on. His only reason for becoming President is so he can destroy our government and steal everything that isn't nailed down.
There's no way that any Americans would allow Chump on Mount Rushmore. Even the worst MAGAs among us can understand this.
