WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday ordered U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to ‌explain why it placed a tarp over the Kennedy ‌Center's façade after the Republican leader's name was removed from the building under ​a court order.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the administration must report by July 31 "the purpose and status of the tarp and scaffolding" now in place at the iconic building.

The tarp was ‌installed as workers stripped ⁠Trump's name in a predawn operation this month following an order from Cooper that the Trump administration ⁠unlawfully added his name to the facade in December.

The White House and Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to requests for ​comment.

7. I Think...

It’s due to the time the defendant and the plaintiff have to file their responses and/or rebuttals to the opposing side’s arguments. I believe the response times are mandated by federal court rules, possibly laws. Keep in mind that IANAL, just regurgitating what I recall from an article on the length of time courts take to get shit done.

2. "the purpose and status of the tarp"

We know the purpose: a Trump temper-tantrum; a display of childish arrogance where if his name can’t be on the Center, neither can President Kennedy’s.

The judge needs to order the idiotic tarp removed.
