Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Obama Foundation after an environment group attempted to block the construction of the Obama Library in Chicago.

Fox News reports:

“We greatly appreciate the continued support of our project and process by the courts, including now from the highest court in the land,” an Obama Foundation spokesperson told Fox News on Friday. “With their support, and the outpouring of support we’ve received from so many on the South Side and across the city of Chicago, we were so pleased to be able to kick off our construction this past week and get us one day closer to doors opening at the Obama Presidential Center.”

The advocacy group Protect Our Parks and other plaintiffs had tried to halt the construction of the Obama presidential library in Chicago’s Jackson Park this week, citing it would be harmful to the local environment.

“Today’s Supreme Court decision is disappointing, but not surprising. We still believe that preserving the status quo is fundamental to preventing irreparable harm in Jackson Park,” the petitioners’ co-counsel Michael Rachlis said in a statement, the Hill reported Friday.

“Nonetheless, our core arguments seek to protect the long-term environmental and historical resources in Jackson Park, and we look forward to presenting our evidence and these arguments in the appellate and district court in the coming weeks.”

Barrett Supreme Court judge tasked with handling emergency matters from Illinois and ultimately denied the petition from Protect Our Parks.

    1. When is the renaming of the park being announced? We all know it will after the library is underway. Obama Presidential Park?

    1. Think ahead…This also means they won’t be able to block Trump’s Library… and you know that’s coming.

      1. Someone enlighten me. I have no love for Obama but presidents get their libraries. Why not him? He could display the pictures of his birth village in Kenya

        1. Have you seen the video where in his own words he says he is not a citizen of the US. Him and everyone that covered this up should be in prison. Were is the out rage that he was not a legitimate president?

          1. Because he is the chosen token black liberal and no one dare be the one to call him out. Same with his he/she spouse….Chewbaca…….Everybody just kisses their asses

        2. It’s not a library because there are no presidential documents. (Guess Hilary Shredded them). This is more of place to teach individuals how to be a community organizers. People in the neighborhood don’t want to give up their park and lakeshore. And also, the taxpayers will end up footing the bill.

          1. He could always build it in san fransodomy. Decent people don’t use the parks there

        3. I don’t have a dog in this fight but, if I did. The President B.O. Foundation would have to build the library in the South Side of Chicago in a neighborhood that he helped out the most in his 8 years as president. With that criteria the choices would be off the chart. Neighborhoods would be begging the Foundation to build there and wouldn’t need any fund raisers because those areas are flush with high levels of spendable income.

        4. Why should he was born over seas not in the USA it has been proven another fake leader so liers should not get anything mostly sense it was in office by lie about his birth place

        5. So you all know… the Obama Presidential Library isn’t a library, it’s a “Center”. Because it’s a center there will be no research library on site and none of Obama’s official presidential records will be there. Additionally, rather than being run by the National Archives and Records Administration, the agency that oversees the library‘s and museums for all presidents going back to Hebert Hoover, the Obama center will be overseen by a private nonprofit entity. Because of this, historians worry that this will undermine the ideal of a nonpartisan public history.

      2. Trump will have a library? The man hasn’t ever read anything in his life. He wouldn’t know a library if he fell over one.

  1. What a new place to have dilapidated building in 8yrs to go along with his 8 yrs in office of the President. Another reason no to go to Chicago.

    1. Yes, ya’ had t’ Love the reference to Chitholego’s “South Side” in their official statement. Maybe the South Side can use it as a morgue.

  2. When the proof comes out of the monies Obama stole from the taxpayers, the sedition he initiated to remove Trump from office, the construction will stop. Who puts up a memorial to exposed corruption?

    1. Uuuuh, the Democrats? Just sayin’.
      AND, the really Appalling aspect of it is, they’ll be PROUD of it!
      Hey, we Got Away with it. Back Off!!!

  3. Not months, not weeks, we are but days from total nullification of anything coming out of the U.S. Supreme Court – across the entire nation. What are you going to do Amy? Send in troops!

  4. Time to hold the Biden responsible for war crimes against our Nation, Time to hold his radical cabinet members responsible for their crimes against the American people, Time for full accountability on acceptance of money from foreign sources, adversarial to our Governmental it’s ideals. principals. Biden crime family has been allowed to continue for too long. Time has come to hold the Biden’s for criminal acts against the American people. The Country can not continue on this path without the full input of Congress to hold the executive branch to the laws they created and that are in place to stop incompetent self elected dictatorships from taking our country and overreaching criminal political obfuscation by a mindless leader.

  5. This country has sunk so low a library built to honor a man that’s not even a citizen discusting!

    1. ‘Channing Kimball’ ? Shit! I could fall in love with somebody with THAT name! 🤩👏👏👏👏🤩

  6. So now we have a JV team member from the Taliban building his Muslim headquarters in the midst of Middle America … Chicago. Let’s hope one of the lost drones with an explosive attachment finds its way to it after it is built or in the middle of the night in the process of being built. Thanks Amy … your name will be on it.

    1. Posted this recently; The SCOTUS is Now just ONE OF THEM. One big SICK, LIBERAL World.
      There is no Right or Wrong or JUSTICE…..
      only Woke or More Woke

  7. What is wrong with this SC justice. She, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch have become traitors to the American and conservative people!

    1. To the Conservative people, YES.
      To the American people, NO!
      They’re right in lockstep with the Dumbed Down American people.

  8. But OF COURSE! JUST WHAT WE NEED!
    Pleeeease don’t let that son of a bitch’s legacy Further MOCK our country by calling it a “library” Call it WHAT it will be___ a “Center for Socialist Propaganda” built Solely for undermining our once Great republic.
    MAKE ME PUKE! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  9. Amy, you have got to stop having lunch wit the leftest ladies on court. You are too easily influenced. Wolf in sheep’s clothing.

  10. Poor Chicago is already a war zone, so MAYBE (??) even the Obozo “Presidential” Library will be an improvement!! Not sure how many “outsiders” will find their way there, but, in the end, who in hell cares? I, for one, do NOT!!

  11. I have no dog in this show. I don’t know why SCOTUS should have been involved in the first place. If there is an environmental issue it should be handled by the EPA. If there are neighborhood issues, the city of Chicago should handle it.

  12. If there was no real harm being done? Look I want a judge to rule on law not politics. I hate obama and him getting a library sucks…but don’t all of these idiot presidents have one? I hate the dee judges because they just rule along the political lines…period

  13. I was really optimistic about her when nominated. When she was being questioned I was impressed with her answers and demeanor. Then when she getting ready to be sworn in. Saw her no balled husband on screen. He doesn’t sneeze unless she says so. Knew right then this was going to bite America in the ass. I am all for strong woman. Intelligent. Independent. Able to make serious decisions without being afraid. Our country got to be great from leaders making decisions. Can’t have it both ways. Need to get back to that.

  14. I am wondering “What is he going to put in the Library?” I don’t think anyone in the USA knows anything about him. His life has been a secret. No one even remembers him in College. I think that a Manufactured House would be big enough to hold all his BS from the past.

  15. I thought that Amy Coney Barrett was going to be an asset to the Supreme Court but it
    looks like that was only wishful thinking. Apparent she is not exactly what she presented
    herself to be. I am disappointed in her but keep hoping she has not sold out for a book deal or two.

  16. She’s the biggest disappointment to the nation. She’s been siting with the liberal side. She needs to be canned and impeached, along with her left wing cronies. She’s a joke.

  17. it shouldn’t be much of a library. he sealed his entire past from public scrutiny – and he had a couple books ghost written. they just need a small bookshelf shelf next to a bathhouse.

  18. What is wrong with Ms Barrett? The Obama presidency was a disgrace for our country and all Americans. He does not deserve anything to remember him by as many of his actions in 8 years were against our constitution and the majority of our citizens. He was the start of the unwarranted racial divide prominent in America today. Wake up Ms Barret!
