美国联邦上诉法院以分歧意见于周五裁定，总统唐纳德·特朗普正在白宫非法扩建一座大型新宴会厅，这可能将该争议推向最高法院，引发一场高风险对决。
哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院在一份2比1的裁决中支持美国顶级历史保护组织的诉求，该组织去年就该项目提起诉讼。法院在裁决中表示：“是否应当建造一座大型宴会厅应由国会决定，而非行政部门自行决断。”
法院在未具名的判决书中写道：“全国历史保护信托基金有力地证明，国会并未将无限制的权力授予行政部门，让其可以为迎合某位总统的意愿，对这座‘人民之家’白宫进行大规模的重新设计、改造和重建。”
哥伦比亚特区巡回法院表示，其裁决将暂停两周，以便特朗普有时间向最高法院提起上诉。
投票反对特朗普的法官分别是前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的帕特里夏·米利特，以及前总统乔·拜登任命的布拉德·加西亚。特朗普任命的法官尼奥米·饶投下了反对票。
这份长达100多页的多数意见意见书，是特朗普去年拆除白宫东翼以扩建宴会厅这一法律风波中，最新一次严厉的司法谴责。
今年早些时候，华盛顿特区的一名联邦初审法官下令特朗普停止所有地上施工，直到国会批准其计划。但上诉法院在审理案件期间允许他继续推进该项目。周五的裁决推翻了此前的决定，并明确表示整个项目都需要国会批准。
饶在反对意见中表示，她认为全国历史保护信托基金从一开始就没有提起诉讼的法律资格，也就是所谓的“起诉权”，这与特朗普律师去年以来的论点一致。
她批评美国地区法官理查德·利昂——他于去年春天首次裁定该项目违法——将该组织对该项目的“审美不满”置于特朗普提出的项目出于国家安全需要的论点之上。
“地区法院接管了白宫的施工监管权，而我的同事们肯定了这种司法越权行为，”饶写道。

Appeals court says Trump is unlawfully constructing White House ballroom

A divided federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump is unlawfully constructing a massive new ballroom at the White House, possibly teeing up a high-stakes showdown over the issue before the Supreme Court.
“Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the DC Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 ruling siding with the nation’s top historic preservation group, which sued over the project last year.
“The National Trust has shown, compellingly, that Congress has not ceded unfettered authority to the Executive Branch to dramatically redesign, reshape, and reconstruct the White House – the People’s House – to fit a particular President’s desires,” the court wrote in its unsigned opinion.
The DC Circuit said it would pause its ruling for two weeks to give Trump time to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The judges who ruled against Trump are Patricia Millett, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, and Brad Garcia, an appointee of former President Joe Biden. Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, dissented.
The majority opinion — spanning more than 100 pages — is the latest stinging judicial rebuke in the legal saga over Trump’s decision to demolish the White House’s East Wing last year to make room for the ballroom.
Earlier this year, a federal trial-level judge in Washington, DC, ordered Trump to stop with all above-ground construction until Congress blessed his plans. But the appeals court permitted him to continue with the project for now while the court considered the case. Friday’s ruling unwinds that earlier decision and makes clear that the entire project requires congressional approval.
Rao said in her dissent that she thought the National Trust did not have the legal right – known as “standing” – to bring the case in the first place, agreeing with arguments pushed by Trump’s lawyers since last year.
She criticized US District Judge Richard Leon, who first ruled against the project last spring, for elevating “the aesthetic displeasure” of the group with the project over Trump’s argument that it’s needed for national security reasons.
“The district court seized supervision of construction at the White House, and my colleagues affirm this judicial overreach,” Rao wrote.
