Lee Blocks Bipartisan Bill on Kennedy Center Demolition Approval

Sen. Mike Lee blocked the Protecting Presidential Memorials Act, by Sens. Jeff Merkley and Lisa Murkowski, requiring Congress to approve demolishing presidential memorials like the Kennedy Center. Merkley sought unanimous consent — passage without a vote if no one objects — but Lee objected. Lee said Democrats were wasting Senate time with 'partisan scaremongering' that skipped committee review.
