Members of the Kennedy family called President Donald Trump's plans for a 250-foot arch. close to the Arlington National Cemetery a 'permanent denigration' of their relatives' grave sites, in a court filing Tuesday.
The filing to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by late Senator Robert F. Kennedy's children called for an injunction on the work planned by the Trump administration to build the arch. on a traffic circle between the cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial.
The family argued that the arch. would cast shadows that would fall on the grave sites of Senator Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy, and other relatives. They also said a view the former president enjoyed so much would be lost.
"That constitutes nothing less than a permanent denigration of the Kennedy Gravesites and the final resting place for Plaintiffs’ parents and grandparents," they wrote in the filing.
On November 5, a judge temporarily blocked construction following legal challenges. Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment Tuesday evening.

Are they the only graves in Arlington Cemetary?
LOL...reminds me of the Indian nut job yesterday who opposes a new California reservoir because it will cover the land her ancestors walked with water.
These people truly have a serious mental disorder.
North Arrow in right hand corner. As far as I know, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and shadows don’t go on forever.
Reminded me of this.
Yellow fever victims were buried in Washington Square Park, which served as a potter’s field where many poor and unidentified individuals were interred during outbreaks in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. An estimated 20,000 bodies are believed to be buried there, including those who succumbed to yellow fever.
Some are saying it’s the greatest arch ever. Nobody thought it could be done.
This is the sort of wasteful effort that Trump should’ve avoided. I support taking down the Iran regime and building the ballroom for large events, but renaming things is all about the ego. He let his accomplishments go to his head. For the mid-terms, he should’ve been recounting all that he and the Republicans got done and that prices are better than under Biden.
Renaming a useless arch is just plain silly. I didn’t even know it existed, nor do I know what was so triumphal about getting us into the Vietnam war or failing the Cubans at the Bay of Pigs. Was there some other war/conflict JFK won I don’t know about?
Pardon me. I just realized that the arch doesn’t exist yet. It’s still an absurd idea, although the shadow falling over the pervert’s grave is appealing.

F the Kennedy’s. They have been a blight on this country and some of the biggest and corruptest crooks in and out of politics.
Oh noes! It would cast a shadow on the graves! Oh, the huge manatee!
There is no arch. Yet.
Clouds cast shadows over Arlington stones all year long, to include the lunar cast light.
Didn’t know that is where they are going to put it.
Awesome and the Kennedy’s will enjoy a splendid view indeed from the gravesite...
Trump loves his country and feels the arch is appropriate. So do I. Haters can go f themselves.
Oh, The Arch is in Va., I thoyught it was in D.C.
Even yugly stupider it is.
Sounds like a bunch of emotionally stuck people.
I thought i read the arch was gonna be for security reasons?
With all the wacko people lately, it may save some future presidents life, but instead these people worry about views for dead people.
Moon Shadows are not being considered?
