A recent Supreme Court decision has allowed construction to continue on a $400 million ballroom project. The decision is seen as a win for President Donald Trump, who is exerting executive power to remake the capital. The court's ruling replaces a temporary order and allows work to proceed while lawsuits are ongoing.

The decision was not unanimous, with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's three liberal-leaning justices dissenting. They expressed concerns that the construction may be unlawful due to a lack of approval from Congress. The majority did not rule on the project's legality, but rather found that a preservation group's concerns were not sufficient to halt construction at this time. Further details on the decision and its implications are available.
