Supreme Court refuses to block construction of the Obama Presidential Center
2021-08-21
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
 Justice Amy Coney Barrett refused Friday to block the construction of the Obama Presidential Center in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
 as demanded by an environmental group.

The groundbreaking for former President Barack Obama
They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...
’s namesake library and presidential archives center began earlier this week, but Protect Our Parks, an environmental advocacy group, asked the high court to stop the construction.

The group lost multiple requests in lower courts to halt the construction of the Obama center because it is located in a public park, Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side.

#3  For the wasteland that is CHicago it is fitting that Ozymandius


By Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

#1  ...My understanding is that the OPC has the same rep in Chicago that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had in Cleveland - the local elites want it, but it's more trouble than it's worth and will never return enough of its investment to be worth the cost.

I just don't know that many people who will be going to freaking Chicago, for God's sake, just to make a pilgrimage to the Lightbringer. Myself, though, I'd like to think that Madam Justice Comey just gave the city of Chicago what it wanted.

Good and hard.
