Chief Justice Roberts has rightly recognized that this lawsuit is built on shaky legal ground, with standing doctrine being blatantly ignored just to obstruct the Trump administration. Letting activist judges leave a massive hole in the ground for months just to spite Trump would've been a political stunt, not justice.
Calling this ruling anything other than politically partisan strains credibility. Chief Justice Roberts has continued SCOTUS' recent trend of siding with Trump regardless of the consequences and now taxpayers may have to foot the bill for continuing to build a ballroom that hasn't yet been deemed legal.
