An advocacy group focused on protecting public parks in Chicago has asked the Supreme Court to temporarily halt construction of former President Obama’s presidential library which kicked off Monday.
In an emergency request for a temporary injunction filed with the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the nonprofit Protect Our Parks argued that the federal government failed to carry out required environmental reviews for the Obama Presidential Center, which is being constructed in the historic Jackson Park.
The group has long been opposed to construction of the library in the park located on the city’s South Side, claiming construction will put the “historic and environmental elements” of the park in imminent danger.
“In constructing the OPC, Respondents will need to demolish significant parts of Jackson Park, its historical resources, parkland, and trees, which will, in turn, adversely affect the human environment, the historic landscape, wildlife, and migratory birds,” the request states.
The group has asked that the library be moved to a location outside of a dedicated public park.

How about barf warning next time. An autoplay video of Big Mike is vomit inducing.
How will every school child in America be bussed in to bask in the glory of all that is Obama. Hard to get them to Hawaii.
I'm wondering what the hell they are going to put into that Library. What are his accomplishments, besides Obamacare?
