The World War II MemorialThe Legal BattleOn Oct. 2, 2000, the National Coalition to Save Our Mall joined with WWII Veterans to Save the Mall, the Committee of 100 on the Federal City, and the DC Preservation League in filing a lawsuit against the federal agencies responsible for the WWII Memorial fiasco proposed for the heart of the National Mall. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled against the plaintiffs and the case was appealed. On November 6, 2001, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit also ruled against the plaintiffs. On May 3, 2002, the National Coalition to Save Our Mall and the other plaintiffs filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States. The Justice Department responded (pdf file) and, on July 18, the Coalition filed a response. Unfortunately, on Oct. 7, 2002, the Court denied the Coalition's petition. |
