Construction is continuing at the White House despite rulings that the scheme probably breaches federal law and a Supreme Court decision that did not determine whether it is lawful. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 order on Monday, August 31, allowed work on the proposed ballroom to proceed while the underlying litigation returns to the lower courts. The justices ruled that the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which brought the challenge, was unlikely to have suffered the…
