A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday blocked, for now, the construction of the new White House ballroom, which President Donald Trump has heavily touted.
District Court Judge Richard Leon, in his order, enjoined Trump administration officials and the Executive Officer of the President, “from taking any action in furtherance of the physical development of the proposed ballroom at the former site of the East Wing of the White House.”

But the main question is, can Obama’s WH basketball court stay up?

I am trying to figure out how a federal judge has any say in a matter such as this. But then... that really doesn’t matter any more.

they have their own agenda and it does not represent our country & our constitution
iow sedition
Ignore that POS judge. Separation of powers. If the President does not even have control of his own house why even bother having an Executive branch?
Did the judge cite authority for this ruling?
Hey John Roberts, this is another example of why YOUR judges are becoming despised and disrespected. It is about time you started reining them in, but then you lack the integrity and backbone to do so.
I don’t think the article makes a single reference to the reason or basis for the ruling.
“Ignore that POS judge. Separation of powers. If the President does not even have control of his own house why even bother having an Executive branch?”

It’s not “his own house.” It belongs to the American people, just as the Capitol and Supreme Court buildings do.
Say it again way past time to investigate blackstone robed tyrants internet activity and financials
I want to know how a judge can stop a building from being built
Does the judge know that it’s halfway finished?
The place has already been torn down a little too late
This is political window dressing for the rubes in an election year.
It’s insane how judges think they can run the country.
Another DC Circuit judge who needs to be removed. A Bush appointment. Why don’t the RAT appointments ever change sides? The way the DC Circuit railroaded the J6 defendants will always be a stain upon our history. The least Congress could do is dissolve that court . Fat chance of that, they can’t even pass the Save Act which has overwhelming support from the American people.
