Supreme Court Allows Trump’s White House Ballroom Construction

Lower-court rulings would have blocked construction of the 90,000-square-foot ballroom after finding that the Trump administration should have first sought approval from Congress.

The apparent 5-4 decision replaces a temporary order issued earlier this month, shortly before a court-ordered halt would have gone into effect. Chief Justice John Roberts publicly disagreed with the latest decision, saying the project is likely unlawful because it hasn't been approved by Congress.

'We conclude only that ... the government is likely to prevail in showing that the Trust lacks Article III standing to challenge the project in federal court and that the remaining stay factors favor relief.'

The Supreme Court allowed construction of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom to continue despite legal challenges from preservation groups.

The Trump administration asked justices to intervene after federal courts found the build must halt because it did not have congressional approval.

The majority didn't decide whether the construction violated federal law, only that plaintiffs' purely aesthetic interests didn't allow them to assert a federal claim.

The court, in a 5-4 decision, rejected a challenge from National Trust for Historic Preservation that was seeking to halt the massive project slated to cost at least $400 million.

The Trump administration asked the justices to intervene after federal courts found the project must halt because it didn't have congressional approval.

Chief Justice John Roberts previously issued a temporary order that allowed construction to continue pending further word from the justices.
