BOOM! The Supreme Court just told the historic-preservation lawyers to get out of the way. Five to four. Construction continues. Crews are already on 20-hour days. This was not a love letter to the ballroom. The Court said the National Trust likely has no standing to sue.  They do not own the White House. They do not get to freeze a $400 million project because they prefer the old postcard. Ballroom above. Military complex below. Frame up by November. Done in 2028. The dissenters wanted a committee member’s “viewing interest” to halt the most famous house in the country. That is not law. That is a hobby with a brief attached. They can keep suing. The concrete is pouring anyway. Golden Age builds. The other side files.
