Judge OKs suit aimed at halting Obama library in Chicago

[TalkRadio1]

CHICAGO (AP) — A judge on Tuesday gave the green light to a lawsuit filed by a parks-advocacy group that aims to stop for good the delayed construction of former President Barack Obama’s $500 million presidential center in a Chicago park beside Lake Michigan.

Some supporters of the project fear the lawsuit filed by Protect Our Parks could force Obama — who launched his political career in Chicago — to build the Obama Presidential Center elsewhere. A 2016 lawsuit brought by another group helped to scuttle a $400 million plan by “Star Wars” creator George Lucas to build a museum on public land on Chicago’s lakefront. That museum is now under construction in Los Angeles.

U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey heard arguments last week on the city’s motion to dismiss the suit and was largely focused on the question of whether the group had standing to sue. His ruling doesn’t mean the group will necessarily prevail, but confirms that the suit poses a formidable threat to the project.

What library?

That monstrosity is not designed to be a repository for books/papers.
It's just a self-tribute...

You won't so much as even be able to view an original birth certificate.

Build it in Hawaii. I have a few locations in mind.

A Stalinist style statue would project the the proper Communist type symbology best suited for the likes of Barack Obama. Maybe he could employ the same guy who did that North Korean style statue of MLK in DC.
