## Summary

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to take up the legal challenge to the planned White House ballroom and overturn a lower court ruling. The request seeks to bring the lawsuit to an end, after the justices had already allowed construction to continue.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed the petition, asking the court to hear the case on its merits docket. He argued that the justices could adopt their earlier ruling, which paused the lower court decision and permitted construction to proceed, because there was nothing new for the court to decide.
