A three-judge appeals court panel is allowing construction of President Donald Trump's White House ballroom to continue -- for now.
In a decision late Friday, the panel granted an administrative stay of an earlier injunction blocking above-ground construction of the White House ballroom.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that Trump can't build the planned ballroom without authorization from Congress, prompting the White House to appeal the decisio
Leon revised his ruling this week -- after the appeals court ruled that he needed to clarify his order -- to say that security-related work could go on, particularly below ground.
The White House appealed Thursday's order and three-judge appeals panel granted a stay of Leon's order to give the judges time to consider the White House's emergency motion for a broader, more lasting stay of Leon's injunction.
"The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion," the panel wrote in the order.
It's unclear how long this administrative stay might remain in place. The appeals court has set oral arguments on the matter for June 5.

when what I really want is for someone to toss a firebomb and just start over from scratch when an actual president (if any) takes over. JFC.
Remember when there were rules? *sigh*
