Supreme Court allows Trump's ballroom construction to proceed - Axios

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for construction on President Trump's ballroom project to continue, permitting above-ground work that had previously been paused while the legal challenge moved through the courts.

The majority decision explicitly stated that the justices did "not pass upon the legality of the government's East Wing project," limiting the ruling's scope.

The court concluded only that, based on the submissions before it, the construction could proceed at this stage of the litigation.

The ruling ends the halt on the project's above-ground work, allowing the East Wing effort to advance while other aspects of the case remain unresolved.

By declining to weigh in on the underlying legality, the justices left broader questions about the project open to further proceedings.
