Roberts allows Trump's ballroom to continue..... for now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday allowed the White House to continue construction on President Donald Trump's $400 million ballroom project to continue for now, as the Supreme Court considers the Trump administration's emergency request to intervene in lawsuits over the project.
The temporary order comes hours before lower-court rulings would have forced a halt to aboveground construction. The brief, one-page document does not detail Roberts' reasoning or lay out a timeline for a fuller decision from the high court.
A Washington-based judge ordered work to stop because Trump didn't have congressional approval. The decision was signed by Roberts because he oversees appeals of cases filed in the capital.

Blessings to Judge Roberts for his benevolence! What a great and powerful man to show grace to President Trump!

Is this the first known case of Roberts ever siding with trump?

Glad to see Trump getting to work on something he actually cares about, as opposed to making American's lives better.

Making American's lives better is up to Americans. You dont want to live in a country where a Preaident has that kind of power.

There is no "for now"
What is Roberts going to do with an almost complete ballroom if the USSC stops construction. Force the Congress to pass a law funding its demolition? That aint happening. And even if Congress decides to defund it, Trump just vetoes it. Then what? And eyesore for the foreseeable future?
