Supreme Court Lets Ballroom Build Proceed | Tulsa News

The Supreme Court just cleared the way for the White House to keep building its $400 million ballroom, pausing legal challenges and letting construction resume—despite a lower court’s earlier halt. Chief Justice Roberts dissented, siding with liberal justices who questioned the project’s legality, while the majority focused on whether the plaintiffs even had standing to sue. The dispute began when preservationists argued the President overstepped authority without Congressional approval, accusing the administration of rushing to finish before rulings. The White House countered that the President has broad power over federal buildings—and cited national security, though not originally. Though construction can now proceed, key parts may be completed in months, leaving the legal battle far from over. This win adds to the administration’s recent successes on emergency rulings, even as other policy fights stall. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
