Trump’s Ballroom Puts Supreme Court in a Bind

“President Trump’s half-built White House ballroom is a 90,000-square-foot embodiment of a recurring legal conundrum: What happens when a boundary-pushing president moves faster than courts can keep up?” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The Supreme Court will soon decide whether to allow Trump to continue building the $400 million project. But he and his administration’s lawyers have told the justices that they have no real choice at all.”

“Construction of the ‘concrete-and-steel superstructure,’ they say, has already advanced so far that it would be ‘practically impossible’ to stop now, let alone tear down what has already been built.”
