The Supreme Court's Ballroom Decision: A Monumental Misstep in the Name of Progress The US Supreme Court's 5 4 ruling to allow construction of Donald Trump's White House ballroom complex to continue has sparked outrage among preservationists, historians, and those who value the integrity of our nation's capital.
While not entirely unexpected given the current ideological leanings of the bench, this decision is still a significant disappointment.
Chief Justice John Roberts' dissenting opinion, which calls the project "likely unlawful," serves as a stark reminder that even within the highest echelons of our judicial system, there are still voices of reason and concern for the nation's cultural heritage.
