I pray that a future president if we still have a democracy will erase every trace of Trump's existence. Raze every edifice he's built; strip his name from everything, restore the White House as if he never lived there & turn Mar-a-Lago into a Black, LGBTQ, women's, AAPI & immigrant history museum.
“I am already imagining the day when Trump’s billionaires ballroom is removed, the White House Rose Garden and the East Wing are restored, and the lawless leaders of this corrupt and criminal regime are held accountable.”

Trump's East Wing demolition, demands for $230 million and the ongoing murders in the Caribbean Sea are the latest reminders that we must remain vigilant and push back

Bottom line: Unless Sung voted in favor of en banc review, a 15-14 vote for rehearing was the best CA could get.
It's very easy to see some judges preferring not to start getting into the practice of en banc review of a ruling on a stay pending appeal of a TRO. (That is quite a can of worms.)

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

"As of writing ... the visitors page at the White House website still encourages people to reserve tours through the offices of their members of Congress. Those tours, the site advertises, will 'include the public rooms in the East Wing'; whether hard hats will be provided is not indicated."
I should probably have just published this in the morning, but I had some thoughts about the East Wing — particularly given something Trump said during his 2020 speech accepting the GOP nomination. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...
The president has never understood that the White House (and government) aren’t his
