Trump Has Fiery Reaction to Courts Stay on

President Trump has announced that his administration will “immediately” appeal the ruling issued by a federal appeals court on Friday (affirming a decrease court ruling that partially blocked the White House ballroom construction) to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a post on his Truth Social on Friday, the president had some fiery phrases in his response to the judges in the bulk on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, writing: 

Two Obama and Biden Appellate Court Judges just voted against the desperately needed Military Center, required for the National Security of Washington, D.C., and our Country, itself.

Then he quoted at size what he described as some “key points” of the dissenting choose:

Highly Respected Judge, Neomi Rao, acknowledged the next key factors, among others, in a strongly worded dissent:

“This was a blatant abuse of discretion…To begin with, the district court had no jurisdiction because the Trust has no standing to stop construction at the White House…[T]he balance of equities overwhelmingly favors the government. The district court elevated the aesthetic displeasure of a single passerby over the government’s security interests in the ballroom and the security risks of leaving an open construction site at the President’s home and office…These errors in equitable judgment require vacating the injunction…The district court seized supervision of construction at the White House, and my colleagues affirm this judicial overreach…Because the injunction is beyond the proper province of the federal courts, construction should be allowed to continue.”

As my colleague Susie Moore wrote in her earlier piece on the ruling, the court, by a vote of 2-1, “upheld a preliminary injunction blocking construction of the proposed addition”:

In a nutshell, the appellate court held that Congress — not the President — controls major structural adjustments to the White House.

…

The resolution was 2-1, with Judges Patricia Millet (Obama) and Brad Garcia (Biden) in the bulk, and Judge Neomi Rao (Trump) authoring a 34-page dissent. In her dissent, Rao contends that the injunction provides too little deference to the Executive on national security wants at the White House. Rao would have allowed construction to proceed while the case is being litigated.

Bear in thoughts, this isn’t the ultimate say on this issue. The D.C. Circuit stayed its own resolution for 14 days to enable the administration to search Supreme Court review, which it virtually definitely will.

And certainly, Trump said just that:

The resolution has been stayed, and doesn’t take impact for a period of time. We shall be immediately interesting to the United States Supreme Court.

He called out the ruling as “horrendous, politically motivated, and unlawful ruling as a National Security threat to our Nation,” explaining how particulars of the addition would defend “our Country and… all future Presidents”:

The Military and Secret Service are viewing this horrendous, politically motivated, and illegal ruling as a National Security menace to our Nation in that the whole Complex is being constructed for the safety of our Country and, moreover, all future Presidents. The single, built-in project contains Bomb Shelters, State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Facilities, Structures and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass. It is all tied together as one big, costly, and very complicated unit, which is significant for National Security and Military Operations of the United States of America!

Pres. Trump blasted the court’s ruling on a number of factors:

The Circuit Court’s resolution, which is completely flawed on the very important subject of STANDING, of which the plaintiff has none, severely jeopardizes the lives and welfare of the people who work, and shall be working, at the White House — including all future Presidents of the United States, and their households, as effectively as the lives of all those visiting, such as Heads of State and other Dignitaries, and all Americans who want to go to the historic, stunning Executive Mansion. 

The Circuit Court also refused to acknowledge that the desperately needed, and completely secure Ballroom, which is being constructed forward of schedule and under price range, is a Gift from President Trump and Great Patriots of the United States of America. The whole Complex, Military and all, is essentially constructed, fabricated, and paid for. Much is already on web site, or being delivered. Why didn’t they carry this case long prior to construction beginning? There shall be no expense to the American Taxpayer. This unjust resolution must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety. Thank you for your consideration to this deeply important National Security matter! 

As Moore famous, just like the preliminary injunction issued in late March by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, which the White House then appealed, Friday’s ruling contains a delay in being applied for an appeal to proceed. Stay tuned for additional developments on this story, readers.
