Lawsuit seeks to stop the UFC fight on the White House South Lawn

A federal lawsuit seeks to halt the upcoming UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The filing Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents contends the Trump administration’s authorization of the June 14 event was unlawful. The lawsuit says such approval violated National Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands, Congress did not consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space and no environmental review was conducted before the construction.
quote:
The White House said in a statement that the legal challenge was “an obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory” attempt to prevent Trump from hosting the fight and that the event was “no different than the various other White House-hosted events on the South Lawn and properly permitted events on the Ellipse and National Mall throughout the year.”
UFC did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Crews are erecting an octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn. Trump has said the finished UFC project will feature “a 5,000-seat arena right outside the front door of the White House.” Additional large screens broadcasting the fights will be set up in a park at the nearby Ellipse, and the UFC has said it plans to issue as many as 85,000 free tickets to accommodate spectators at both locations.

Leftists are the most miserable people on the planet and want everyone else to be miserable like them.

I can tell you now: Trump clearly over reached his authority and a federal judge clearly has jurisdiction over the executive residence.

The right should have done this when Biden held his trans party on the fricking lawn. The right doesn’t know how to actually fight. It would have either stopped it or forced a ruling that the president can do as he pleases with his residence and this gets thrown out immediately

10 days before the 4th. Or is that when the concert is supposed to be?

Let’s be honest, Trump could scratch his nuts and SFP would claim a federal judge has jurisdiction of his scrotum.

No standing in courts but that ringside standing will be funny
