'Golden age of America': Trump celebrates as SC clears $400M White House ballroom

The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to continue construction of a $400 million ballroom complex at the White House, overturning a lower-court order that had halted above-ground work while a legal challenge against the project proceeds.The 5-4 decision was a victory for Trump, who has pushed ahead with the project despite a lawsuit arguing that the president does not have the authority to undertake such a major alteration to the White House complex without congressional approval.The court’s unsigned order did not rule definitively on whether the ballroom itself is lawful. Instead, it found that the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the group challenging the project, likely lacked the legal standing to bring the case and said the government could face "irreparable harm" if construction were stopped.The decision was backed by five of the court’s six conservative justices.
