Critics, including Rep. Don Beyer, call it plainly illegal without authorization, while the Justice Department defends it using a recent Supreme Court precedent. Veterans suing argue the arch blocks sacred sightlines from the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington Cemetery, but the DOJ dismisses their claims as subjective. The National Capital Planning Commission has only given preliminary approval, with final review not due until October, and the FAA’s full environmental impact study remains pending—even though they’ve already suggested adding red lights to mitigate flight risks. With multiple agencies and legal hurdles still unresolved, the project’s future hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
