Trump insists Arlington arch is just a VIP entrance to the cemetery, opens waiting list
The White House says the monument is "the biggest arch ever erected by someone who has yet to lose in court" and that litigants will have reserved seating.
The American administration argued that the triumphal arch harms no one, provided it keeps a reasonable distance from good taste. The project now moves on to the next phase: the one in which they find out who is paying for it.
The Kennedy family asked a judge to stop it. The White House replied that the family always has the option of walking underneath, at no extra charge for anyone with a well-known surname.
An aide who asked not to be identified explained that the arch is there to honour those resting in Arlington. "They rest better with some shade and a nice bronze plaque bearing the sponsor's name," he said.
According to a source in the legal department, the case will take years, which is ample time for the arch to be completed, inaugurated and declared an untouchable national heritage site.
The cemetery has yet to decide whether the arch will have a toll. A consultant insists the matter is being studied by a committee that will be set up after the opening ceremony.
