President Trump's White House ballroom plans are in the hands of three appellate judges heard arguments Friday over whether construction sho
DOJ argues Trump could 'bulldoze' Statue of Liberty in White House ballroom hearing
The Justice Department argued no one can stop Trump from building the ballroom.
A lawyer for the Justice Department told a federal appeals court panel on Friday that the Trump administration believes the White House ballroom project cannot be stopped by judges, and that even if the president wanted to "bulldoze" the Statue of Liberty, no one could sue to stop him.
"Let me ask you a straightforward question: that this court, the Supreme Court, no court could stop the building of this [ballroom]?" asked Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee.
"Yes," answered Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth.
Roth said the controversial project is "well on its way," with more than 3 million pounds of steel rebar now on site.
"I think it would have been improper to enjoin it, even on day one," Roth said.
Across two hours of oral argument, a panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit grappled with the Trump administration's view that laws passed decades ago authorize the building of the ballroom today.
While the court, at times, appeared skeptical that President Donald Trump had the authority to carry out the construction without congressional approval, the panel seemed conflicted about whether the National Trust for Historic Preservation had the right to bring a suit challenging the project.
if you tried out transitioning and it wasn't for you, i think it's great you explored that and discovered something important about yourself. i think you have a unique and valuable experience with gender that should be taken into account and is worthy of discussion. But you cannot be going around calling yourself "detrans"
yknow like if your guy friend experiments with men a bit and decides it's not his thing, good on him for being open minded and ready to discover things about himself. But if he starts calling himself 'ex-gay' you have to be like, wait a second, that's a term mostly used by right wing hate movements
Putting the term "male gaze" on top of the fridge until everyone remembers that it refers to a cinematographic trend and not the act of looking at things while being a man
