A federal judge was adamant Monday that the Trump administration must give proper notice before renovating the East Potomac Golf Links, warning of “serious consequences” if it fails to do so.
US District Judge Ana Reyes voiced concerns that the administration will follow the White House ballroom playbook and proceed with construction first and then deal with the legal fallout later.
“Let’s just say, given some issues around the District recently, I would have a particular concern that we not act first and ask forgiveness later,” Reyes said during a Monday hearing, per the Washington Post.
“Because that’s not going to be acceptable, and I want you to make sure that that’s fully communicated to the agency. If anything like that happens, there are going to be serious consequences.”
Attorneys for the administration asserted that the central DC golf course will stay open, trying to allay concerns about a report from NOTUS that renovations would begin Monday.
Following the NOTUS report, the anti-Trump Democracy Forward group lodged an emergency petition, urging the court to stop the administration from beginning work on the golf course.
At one point during the testy hearing, Reyes was given a note.
“It looks like there were signs on the golf course that there were closures,” she said.
Government attorneys claimed they weren’t aware of those closures.
Ultimately, the East Potomac Golf Links stayed open on Monday. Reyes rejected the group’s request for a temporary restraining order and allowed the government to carry on with maintenance work on the property.
“I don’t want to be the overseer of parks and rec. I’m no Amy Poehler,” Reyes quipped.

TDS is raging
Hey Judge, the LAW should guide you, not your feelings!
US District Judge Ana Reyes
Every single time.
Judge: I threaten you with serious consequences.
Public: Same to you.
Well, an effing golf course is what is really important to this administration right now.
I think conservative judges with integrity who rule based on laws and precedents are as rare as three legged ballerinas.
..........................”Latina and first openly LGBTQ person to serve in this role. Born in .........................Uruguay, she immigrated to the U.S. as a child and has back-

And of course she’s an expert on golf, golf courses, and how a democracy works.
As I said, every single time.
Ship her back.
The judge is a petty little man. He can cut it out because renovating a failing golf course is definitly not a big deal and in Trump’s wheelhouse.
Pathetic that people do not know what to pick and choose to fight about.
That's above your pay grade. Maybe a dog catcher fits your qualifications.
We need a federal law prohibiting females from perverting the judiciary.
What’s next, a Court Order for Trump to such the sh!t back into his bum.
Democracy Forward
I dare say this group has probably never even played golf.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that people frequently walk and chew gum at the same time?
I found it on the Interwebs! Check it out!
Laz, you realize of course, what’s been seen, can’t be unseen. 😝
there will be no consequences, because Trump can simply pardon anyone involved
Why doesn’t America give it up and just let some no-name judge be the boss of everything?
They sure seem to be constantly veering outside of their lanes these days.
