别碰艺术机构
美国联邦上诉法院第二次表示，不会迅速介入推翻法官下达的移除肯尼迪艺术中心内特朗普总统姓名的命令。
华盛顿特区美国巡回上诉法院的新裁决驳回了特朗普的论点，他声称移除其姓名会损害这家表演艺术机构的筹款工作。
该巡回法院表示，此案被告“未能以任何具体事实或证据支持这一主张”，“他们仅提供了肯尼迪艺术中心执行董事在一份缺乏事实依据的声明中作出的结论性断言”。
特朗普还曾辩称，肯尼迪艺术中心的章程要求其退还已募集的捐款，除非将他的姓名重新刻在建筑外墙上。上诉法院指出，在地区法院审理此案时，被告从未提出过这一主张。该诉讼由俄亥俄州联邦众议员乔伊斯·比蒂提起，她是民主党人，同时也是肯尼迪艺术中心当然理事。
参与审理此次紧急上诉的合议庭成员包括帕特里夏·米利特法官和罗伯特·威尔金斯法官——两人均为前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的官员——以及特朗普任命的格雷戈里·卡察斯法官，后者因与美国最高法院部分保守派大法官立场一致而闻名。此次新裁决没有任何反对意见。
上个月特朗普的姓名从建筑外墙上被移除前数小时，工作人员搭建了脚手架并用防水布遮挡了外立面。
肯尼迪艺术中心执行董事马特·弗洛卡在一份声明中证实，印有特朗普姓名的标牌已被拆除；但数周过去，防水布仍未移除。CNN获取了防水布后方的照片，证实了弗洛卡的声明。
“今天的裁决再次证实，本届政府试图将姓名刻入肯尼迪艺术中心的行为是非法的，”比蒂周三表示，“他的名字不再玷污这座属于全体美国人民的神圣纪念场所。现在是特朗普政府接受这一结果、遵守法律并拆除防水布的时候了。”
美国地区法官凯西·库珀要求该机构在未来几周内解释为何用防水布和脚手架遮盖建筑外的标识。
此前，同一合议庭的上诉法官拒绝了特朗普提出的在库珀设定的最后期限前暂停移除姓名的“行政性”紧急请求，特朗普的姓名随后从肯尼迪艺术中心建筑上被移除。
库珀在5月29日的裁决中要求，特朗普的姓名必须从实体建筑和中心官网上一并移除，同时还叫停了关闭艺术中心进行翻新的计划。针对该裁决的长期上诉程序仍将继续。
一位知情人士告诉CNN，加强节目编排的计划“正在推进中”，并将在预计最早下周召开的下一次董事会会议上进行讨论。
该中心7月整个月在千禧舞台新增了一些额外的新音乐节目。

Court again knocks down Trump’s demand for his name to go back on the Kennedy Center

Hands Off the Arts
A federal appeals court for a second time said it would not quickly intervene to reverse a judge’s order that removed President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center.
The new order from the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s arguments that taking his name off the building would dampen fundraising efforts for the performing arts institution.
The defendants in the case “failed to support this assertion with any specific facts or evidence,” the circuit court said. “They offer only the conclusory assertions of the Kennedy Center’s Executive Director that were made in a factually unsupported declaration.”
Trump had also argued that the Kennedy Center’s bylaws would require it to return contributions that it had brought in unless his name was put back on its facade. The appeals court noted the defendants never made that claim when the case was before the district court. The lawsuit was brought by Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty, a Democrat and an ex-officio trustee.
Circuit Judges Patricia Millet and Robert Wilkins — both appointees of former President Barack Obama — were on the panel considering the emergency appeal as well as Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, a Trump appointee known for being aligned with some of the conservative justices on the US Supreme Court. There were no dissents from the new order.
Hours before Trump’s name was removed from the building’s exterior last month, workers constructed scaffolding with tarp obstructing the facade.
Kennedy Center Executive Director Matt Floca affirmed in a declaration that the letters bearing Trump’s name were removed; however, the tarp remains in place weeks later. CNN has obtained images from behind the tarp confirming Floca’s declaration.
“Today’s ruling again affirms that this administration’s efforts to rename the Kennedy Center were unlawful,” Beatty said Wednesday. “His name no longer desecrates this sacred memorial, which belongs to the American people. Now it is time for the Trump administration to accept this, comply with the law, and take the tarps down.”
US District Judge Casey Cooper has demanded that the institution provide an explanation for the tarp and scaffolding that has covered the building’s exterior signage in the coming weeks.
Trump’s name was taken down from the Kennedy Center building after the same panel of appellate judges declined his request for an immediate, “administrative” order to pause its removal ahead of the deadline set by Cooper.
Cooper’s May 29 ruling said that Trump’s name had to be removed both from the physical building and from its website. It also blocked plans to close the center for renovations. A longer-term appeal of that ruling will continue.
A source familiar with the matter told CNN that plans to bolster programming are “coming together” and will be discussed at the next board meeting, expected as soon as next week.
The center has added some additional new music programming at the Millennium Stage throughout the month of July.
