| Judge gives go-ahead to lawsuit aimed at stopping Chicago Obama library |
| 2019-02-20 |
| [FOX] A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a lawsuit filed by an advocacy group hoping to halt construction of former President Barack Obama's $500 million presidential center on Chicago's South Side can proceed. U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey, who was nominated to the federal bench by Obama in 2014, ruled that Protect Our Parks has standing to sue the city because it represents taxpayers with concerns that providing land in Jackson Park to the Obama center violates their due process rights. The judge indicated that he doesn't want the litigation to drag on, and that he'll limit any fact-gathering before the trial to 45 days. The proposed Jackson Park site is seven miles from downtown Chicago, is near low-income neighborhoods where Obama worked as a community organizer, and lies just blocks from the University of Chicago, where Obama was a law professor. It is also close to the home where the Obamas lived until he won the presidency in 2008. |

| #17 There will be a wax museum of all the worldly royals, and if you go bow to one a pre-recorded mp3 speech is played. And no xer, that is not an empty room, that is the golf chamber where all remaining score cards are kept. |

| #11 It is NOT a Presidential Library; there may be access to documents but it would be at computer terminals at one room in the Center - of course people could do that at their home. It might have various memorabilia, e.g., Michele's dresses and of course a souvenir shop but whatever else it is not a library. |

| #9 it will never be big enough for him. He will show up on the grand opening and never return. No reason to visit the 'surrender to enemies' wing or the 'golf' wing or the 'obamacare' wing since he lived it. However, the 'phone and pen' display may be interesting. |

| #3 This library would be a good place to keep all the documentation of how bigly Obama screwed America for eight years. A repository for copies of the indictments, espionage, evidence destruction, pay-for-play, phony charities, treason, etc., discovery, trial transcripts, testimony, prosecutions, sentencing results, |
