Courts decide actual cases brought by people who have the legal right to bring them.
Congress is not powerless here. Quite the opposite. Congress controls federal spending, legislates concerning federal property and the District of Columbia, conducts oversight, and can enact laws restricting what the President may do.
If Congress believes President Trump has exceeded his authority, Congress has constitutional tools available to do something about it.
And if someone who actually has Article III standing brings the proper lawsuit, the courts may ultimately decide whether the President has the legal authority to build the ballroom.
But that was not the case before the Supreme Court today.
Today the Court decided something much simpler:
You don't get to stop the President in federal court just because you don't like what he is doing. You first have to show why you have the legal right to be the person asking the court to stop him.
This plaintiff couldn't do that.
And that is why construction of the White House ballroom can continue.
