Divided Supreme Court rules White House ballroom construction may proceed
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported37m ago
The United States Supreme Court has ruled in a 5-4 decision that construction of a $400 million ballroom at the White House may proceed. The emergency ruling lifts lower court blocks, allowing above-ground work on the project to continue while legal challenges are weighed.
President Donald Trump's administration requested the emergency intervention, asserting that the construction project is necessary for national security. The Supreme Court's action successfully halts lower court rulings that would have otherwise restricted the building process until Congress formally addressed the matter.
