The Executive Branch Strikes Back

Yeah, the Executive Branch noticed the WWII vets brushing aside the barriers to the WWII monument yesterday.

So now they're bringing in the heavy equipment.

More Honor Flight veterans are on their way, but they've been told they'll be arrested if they try to go to their memorial.

Just in case you don't know, the WWII memorial is an open air landmark. It's not a building or a museum. It's a concrete circular/oval area that's open 24/7.


It doesn't have an "entrance" that you can close, anymore than Central Park has an "entrance". The Executive Branch is having to bring in artificial barriers to close it down.

Somehow, I don't think some plastic tape and wooden/metal sawhorse-parade barricades are going to be enough to stop men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and survived enemy artillery barrages. Call me crazy.
