Nolte: Biden and Obama Judges Order Halt to White House Ballroom

by John Nolte

The ongoing lawfare nonsense to oppose President Trump on absolutely everything continued Friday with the news that two left-wing judges have ordered a halt on construction of the White House ballroom.

Barry Obama appointee, Judge Patricia A. Millett, and Joe Biden appointee, Judge Bradley N. Garcia, claim that Trump must get the approval of Congress for his ballroom. Those two were all that’s needed in a three-judge federal appeals panel. Trump-appointed Judge Neomi Rao dissented.

“Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House and its Executive Residence,” wrote the judges.

“We are aware of no instance in American history in which a President unilaterally and using privately collected funds demolished substantial portions of the White House that Congress authorized to be built and American taxpayers paid for. Until now,” wrote the majority.

“The district court seized supervision of construction at the White House, and my colleagues affirm this judicial overreach,” Rao wrote in her dissent. “Because the injunction is beyond the proper province of the federal courts, construction should be allowed to continue.”

Before construction stops entirely, the order gives Trump two weeks to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Read the rest at breitbart.com.
