This ain't Philly.
There is an Act of Congress binding on even a rogue presidential administration that prohibits exceeding the height limit.
The government lawyers claiming anything to the contrary are breaching their obligation to the court.

Wow…that’s an enormous change from Feds’ longstanding position.

New:
The Trump administration is now arguing that any federal structure the government wants to build — including Trump’s 250ft arch — doesn’t have to follow height limits that have long capped most DC construction at 130ft tall.
The new interpretation would allow Trump to build his 250-foot arch — or any other federal structure — without deferring to a federal law that has restricted most D.C. construction to 130 feet tall.
