At the Court
On Friday, the Trump administration urged
the Supreme Court to pause a lower-court ruling that would halt
construction of a new White House ballroom. The National Trust for
Historic Preservation, the private nonprofit challenging the
construction project, responded
to this request on Tuesday, asking the court to leave the ruling in
place. The matter is now fully briefed, so the court's response could
come at any time. |
On July 27, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on its emergency docket to clear the way for the implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order on mail-in voting. Twelve states later echoed this request in their own application. One week later, the group of 23 states and the District of Columbia challenging the order asked the court to deny these requests. Last week, the Trump administration urged the court to "promptly" issue its decision. |

Trump tells Supreme Court 'unprecedented' threats make ballroom vital Maureen Groppe, USA Today In its final expected brief
at this stage of the White House ballroom dispute, the Trump
administration asserted that "[f]inishing the president's $400 million
ballroom is a national security 'imperative,'" and that "any delay in
the project 'presents unacceptable risk,'" according to USA Today.
"When the President, his staff, his family, and the White House complex
are not fully secure, time is of the essence," wrote U.S. Solicitor
General D. John Sauer. As USA Today noted, "[u]nless the Supreme Court
intervenes, a judge's order halting the above-ground portion of the
project while the legal fight continues will go into effect on Aug. 21." |
