Supreme Court Allows Construction of White House Ballroom to Continue

The U.S. Supreme Court has permitted the construction of President Donald Trump's proposed White House ballroom and military complex to proceed, overturning lower court injunctions. The 5-4 decision on Monday, reported today, concluded that the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which challenged the project, likely lacked legal standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts dissented, arguing the project was 'likely unlawful' without congressional approval. The administration had argued the project, which includes a secure ballroom and military bunker, addresses national security concerns.
