WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM BUILD KEEPS GOING, SUPREME COURT SAYS

🚨 The White House ballroom keeps getting built.

The Supreme Court said in an order Monday that construction on President Donald Trump's controversial White House ballroom can continue while legal challenges to the project play out.

The order was unsigned.

A majority of the court said the plaintiff, the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, is likely to be shown to lack legal standing to sue to block the project.

Standing is the threshold question in any case like this. Before a court weighs whether a project should be stopped, it decides whether the group asking has the legal right to ask at all. If the Trust cannot clear that bar, the objections to the ballroom may never get a hearing on the merits.

What it means practically: work does not pause. Contractors keep working, the schedule keeps moving, and the money keeps going out the door while the case continues in the lower courts.

CNBC reports the order addresses the project's status during the litigation rather than settling the dispute itself.

Should a build be allowed to keep going while it is still being challenged in court?
