Today is the court-ordered deadline to remove President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center.  Trump’s handpicked Kennedy Center board filed a last-minute appeal to keep Trump’s name up. But the clock is ticking. What happens if they miss the deadline?

    edit: so, there was a severe thunderstorm watch+warning, and the crew weren't going to go up on the scaffolding due to the possibility of lightning. They're currently working on additional scaffolding. It's after 5pm, there are no workers, and nothing's been taken down, so I doubt it'll happen today. They'll issue a citation to someone - probably the head of the Foundation, unless she can divert the blame to someone else - and they'll have mealy-mouthed excuses as to why it couldn't be done on time. They'll likely give her an extension; if she misses it, she'll be called into the carpet and scolded (again). There may be a fine way some point, but I suspect she'll have the Kennedy Center pay for it, so she won't care.
