Kennedy family argues it has standing to protect relatives’ graves

Nine Kennedy family members filed a motion in federal court to stop construction of the arch. They say its design and location would obstruct views from Arlington Memorial Bridge of their relatives’ graves at Arlington National Cemetery, including the Eternal Flame at John F. Kennedy’s gravesite. The family also argues it has particularly strong standing because courts have recognized families’ interests in protecting relatives’ gravesites. The plaintiffs include children and grandchildren of Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy. Their lawyers further argue that only Congress can constitutionally authorize an intrusion of this scale.
