... The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to press on with his White House ballroom project, granting temporary relief from lower-court rulings that were set to halt above-ground construction on Saturday.

Chief Justice John Roberts granted an administrative stay Friday that puts a hold on a federal appeals court decision that found Trump appeared to lack legal authority to embark on major construction at the White House complex without specific approval from Congress.

Roberts' one-page order did not explain his rationale for temporarily lifting the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling one day before it was to take effect. His order appears intended to freeze the status quo while the full Supreme Court considers how to resolve an emergency appeal Trump filed last week. ...

@#1 ... His order appears intended to freeze the status quo ...

So the Trump-owned SCOTUS seems to be allowing Pres Trump's vandalism of US property to continue.

Of course, that seems to be Chief Justice Roberts' goal here.

Allow the construction to continue to the point at which it must be completed.

Never mind the Constitution.
