The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the legal fight over the White House ballroom project, seeking to end the lawsuit after the justices earlier this year allowed construction to continue.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed a petition for the Supreme Court to take up the case on its merits docket, urging the justices to reverse the lower court’s ruling, which they had paused with their Aug. 31 emergency docket ruling. Sauer explained that the justices could quickly adopt the per curiam ruling it issued earlier this year allowing construction to continue on the ballroom, saying there is “nothing further or new that this Court needs to decide after its per curiam opinion.”
