Ballroom Saga?

 The Supreme Court came to agree (5-4)....the ballroom project now continues.

So to lay out the 'problem'.....it was a 100-percent privately-funded project on day one (Corporations stood up and laid down the cash).

Then....a new added-feature came up. This became a ballroom....with a underground bunker, military facilities, hospital/medical complex, and other “secure basement” elements beneath the ballroom, plus rooftop drone-related features.

This second part....required Pentagon-money to some degree...NOT authorized by the House/Senate.

The argument by the Chief Justice in the court case to halt the project?  He made the point that the House/Senate has some level of ownership and control of federal facilities.  It is a non-valid point....they control funding....NOT facilities.  

To imagine McConnell or Sanders have a say over the number of doors, or windows, or toilets in a federal facility....is silly. 

What was silly for decades?  Every time a Presidential party or ball was held....they either rented a hotel-complex, or put up a rented-tent....hundreds of millions wasted....when the White House should have had a facility on the grounds.

Now things proceed?  I would imagine in a week....another delay will be cranked-up.
