Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: Kennedy Center Board Lives in a ‘Fairyland of Irresponsibility’ by Ignoring Court Orders

RUSH EXCERPT:

WHITEHOUSE: “Well, they think they have. But there was no legal opinion providing any support for the notion that this resolution that they voted on would pass muster with the judge, who already decided that nobody’s name is allowed to go onto that building other than president John F Kennedy by law. That’s in the statute that created the Kennedy center. So in these meetings, you sort of step into a bit of a odd fairyland in which a resolution comes forward. In this case, it was not on the agenda. No one was given prior notice. And suddenly there is a vote, as I said, no legal opinion to show that this we’re not doing another illegal vote on the same subject. So they kind of live in a fairy land of irresponsibility, where things like complying with court orders don’t matter."
