The justices also found that halting construction could inflict \u201cirreparable harm\u201d on the government and interfere with critical security work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means crews can keep building the massive ballroom and underground military facility\u2014even as the explosive fight over the project\u2019s legality remains unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump wasted no time celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe United States Supreme Court has just ruled, 5-4, that the magnificent Ballroom and Military Complex can continue, without any further contingency, doubt, or threat,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/white-house-ballroom-construction-lifeline-scotus-heated-legal-fight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are living in the Golden Age of America, and this Building will be one of the Greatest ever constructed in Washington, D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said the project remains on track for completion in summer 2028 and predicted it will become \u201csomething that the entire Country is very proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also insisted the ballroom is being financed entirely by private donors and corporations, calling it a \u201cGift\u201d that will come at no cost to taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Justices Cite Serious Security Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration has argued that the ballroom cannot simply be separated from the fortified military installation being built beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its ruling, the Supreme Court pointed to declarations from senior national-security officials\u2014including the directors of the FBI, CIA, Secret Service and Office of the Director of National Intelligence\u2014warning about the dangers of freezing construction midway through the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army secretary told the court that the planned ballroom\u2019s height and mass are crucial to shielding the underground facility from potential attacks. Officials also warned that delays could disrupt Secret Service operations, expose the unfinished site to foreign intelligence gathering and create serious structural problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority stressed that it was not issuing a final ruling on whether Trump had the legal authority to undertake the project without congressional approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, the court concluded that the National Trust\u2019s lawsuit likely falters at the starting line because its alleged aesthetic and historical injuries do not amount to the concrete harm required to sue in federal court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roberts Breaks With Conservative Majority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision produced an extraordinary split, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roberts argued that the project is \u201clikely unlawful\u201d because federal law prohibits the construction of structures on government parkland in Washington without express authorization from Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe ballroom is a building or structure being erected on federal park grounds\u2014President\u2019s Park\u2014in the District of Columbia,\u201d Roberts wrote. \u201cYet Congress has not passed any law resembling \u2018express authority\u2019 for the Executive\u2019s construction of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roberts accused the majority of allowing a likely infringement on Congress\u2019 power over federal spending and property to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday\u2019s decision is no victory for the separation of powers,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Trust seized on that dissent while acknowledging the painful setback. President and CEO Brent Leggs said the organization was \u201cdeeply disappointed\u201d but emphasized that the court did not decide whether the ballroom itself is legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is not the final decision on the merits of our case,\u201d Leggs said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/savingplaces.org\/press-center\/media-resources\/statement-supreme-court-national-trust-v-nps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s sprawling White House ballroom project just dodged another potentially devastating legal roadblock.
