Historic group seeks Supreme Court halt on White House ballroom expansion
TL;DR
A historic preservation group urged the Supreme Court to suspend the White House ballroom project while it reviews its legality, arguing the administration lacks statutory authority to demolish part of the White House and replace it with a privately funded ballroom; the case follows a divided appeals court pause on above-ground work, with the project now about 65% complete and featuring an underground facility for national security.
