SCOTUS Greenlights Trump’s Ballroom
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Strict Scrutinyβs own podcast host.
In this bonus episode, Leah and Melissa break down the Supreme Courtβs decision to let Trump move forward with plans for a White House ballroom, despite lower courts finding that the project cannot proceed without congressional authorization and appropriated funds. They also discuss a whistleblowerβs allegations that the federal government is defying court orders on voting by mail, and new reporting from Jodi Kantor on the Supreme Courtβs secretive policies governing when the justicesβ papers and internal records will be made public.
