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.

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?

If DJT were to contract Illegal aliens to finish the project the Dems would drop the lawsuit. SCOTUS would also rule in DJT's favor 9-0.



Deport them all upon completion.

This whole thing is so adam schiff level gay. Dems really are the worst things to happen to humanity and society as a whole. I wish Fauci would "create" a vaccine for TDS, this world would be so much cleaner and happier.

No one has issues with private donors funding this pet vanity project and inevitable kick backs that are going to receive?

Well, before we have a problem with kickbacks in this situation, it would first be nice to have a little something more as proof than a poster on an anonymous message board claiming kickbacks are “inevitable” in this situation.

No surprise at all.A 9-3 bias that will always favor Trump clearly shows there's no separation of the Judicial and Executive Branches of our government.
BTW the Supreme Court will never hand down a final judgement concerning the ballroom.
