Federal judge orders halt to Trump White House ballroom project; DOJ to appeal

A federal judge blocked construction of Trump's White House ballroom project, ruling the president lacked authority as DOJ prepares to appeal the decision.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered construction of the White House ballroom project halted, siding with a historic preservation group that argued the effort violated federal law.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the group is likely to succeed on the merits of its case, writing that "no statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have," according to the ruling.

The injunction temporarily stops work on the project, though the judge delayed enforcement for 14 days to allow the White House time to appeal.

Comment:
This is just the Far Left trying to harass Trump.
They have already turn down the east wing.
What do they want them to do; rebuild it?
Past presidents have built swimming pools, bowling alleys, basket ball courts.....
The ballroom will allow presidents to host big events year-round instead of hosting events in tents on the lawn with portapottys.

The usual big deals at the White house usually seat less than half the people that a 9 hundred seat ball room. unnecessary cost. Even if donations do most of the building,
We will be paying to maintain & up keep forever.

I find it interesting that they claim "historic preservation" for new construction when there is nothing left of what was there. How do you preserve for history something that isn't there anymore? If they wanted to claim historic preservation they should have done so before the old part was torn down. At least that would have been "historic preservation".

The far Left is just trying to harass Trump

We are a nation of laws. Not of men.

Trump has to follow the law just like anyone else.

Barry Obama said that the constitution was "just a piece of paper"

The funds were raised privately. No Congressional funding necessary. The GSA handles maintenance and repairs, not Congress. They don't manage the GSA, they only fund it, and the funds for the ballroom were not coming out of the GSA budget. This is just petty juvenile harassment by a criminal syndicate pretending to be Party and pandering to its demented asshole traitor base of squirrels and deviants, is all.

Per the judge, Congress controls what is done with Federal buildings, and allocates funds for rebuild. Don't blame me I just work here.

Making new laws is very much the way government is supposed to work.

Did you guys forget that legislating is how we are supposed to govern?

According to Democrats, that's done by rioting, assassination, and filing fake charges against Trump.

The law.

Can you cite the law that allows a certain dollar amount?

Can you cite the law that allows the president to demolish any building on federal property that he wants?

You don't know squat about it. The White House, Capitol building, and Supreme Court buildings are exempt from review under the Preservation Act.

You've never read it so quit pretending you know stuff; you don't have the first clue.

Preservation act has nothing to do with it.

The court asked the executive to find a law which permits them to bulldoze the East Wing and it just doesn't exist.

Since other presidents have remodeled, I don't see a problem.

Obama installed a basketball court when only tennis courts were approved. Did anyone ***** then?

The judge was wrong.

The White House is exempt from the National Historic Preservation Act's Section 106 review process, which typically requires federal agencies to assess the impact of construction projects on historic properties. However, past presidents have voluntarily submitted their renovation plans for public review as a best practice.

So you just said the judge doesn't know what it's doing. Yes, we know that already. And we know you have no idea iether.

Preservation act is irrelevant.
