The Supreme Court has paused a lower court’s order halting construction on the White House ballroom, giving the administration more time to argue that stopping work would jeopardize national security. The legal battle began when a federal appeals court ruled Congress—not the President—controls federal property funding, blocking above-ground work but pausing its decision to let the Justice Department seek review. The President defended the project as vital for safety, even calling preservationists “treasonists,” while officials insist construction is now irreversible. Below-ground security work continues untouched, and a judge found the administration’s funding method unlawful, adding fuel to the controversy over whether the White House is trying to outpace judicial oversight.
