The fight about Trump's name on the Kennedy center bores me to death. Seems like so much of the time of 'our' courts is taken up with rich people in a slap fight with each other. Defamation lawsuits, this name thing. (There are people in jail waiting months for a hearing...)
But what I don't get is why the court deciding that the name must come down is an order being followed by ... who? Trump's people at the center?
It's very funny that it is covered up.

But, to the point of force, right down to the "and then they would arrest you" can someone explain *why* the name came down? Why doesn't Trump just ignore the court?
The court orders the name must come down. Great. Very funny.
But why listen. Why don't we get "oh OK I'll take it down" but then nothing happens?
How does the power flow?
That seems a little important to me maybe.

@futurebird As I understand it, he is trying to appeal it (And tried to get a TRO to prevent it from being taken down until the appeal failed, I think?), so *might* be trying to "Steelman" their case by obliging this one time?
Either that, or the people who had put it physically up are under risk of contempt of court (Or the justice department is, given that they are based on the ICE cases they keep losing.).
