The Supreme Court just handed Trump a win for his White House ballroom project

A divided Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision allowing the White House to proceed with a $400 million ballroom project while lawsuits continue. This ruling favors President Donald Trump's use of executive power to reshape the capital. Chief Justice John Roberts dissented, arguing the project is likely unlawful due to a lack of Congressional approval. Additionally, Georgetown Law professor Stephen Vladeck noted that the ruling raises significant separation-of-powers questions that extend beyond the construction of the ballroom.
