Trump says White House needs ‘military complex’ as courts block his ballroom
The administration says the lower-court halt would block work on the new ballroom, and it is seeking emergency relief from the justices.
- 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, seeking immediate intervention to resume work.
- This request follows a pattern of the administration testing executive authority limits via the Supreme Court's emergency docket, mirroring prior attempts to deport alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
- Federal courts have repeatedly blocked Justice Department initiatives; 22 trial judges have ruled against the department in various cases, including a Nevada decision on Friday.
- Judicial setbacks include the 1st Circuit rejecting mandatory detention without bond and the 6th Circuit declining to rehear a case regarding Michigan's unredacted voter rolls.
- Following significant conservative victories, Democrat-led proposals to overhaul the Supreme Court have reached a 'fever pitch,' including plans to increase justices to 13 and cut lifetime terms to 18 years.
