No Victory for Separation of Powers: Supreme Court Allows White House Ballroom Construction to Proceed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the White House Ballroom project can proceed, at least for now. As you may recall from our prior post, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals had enjoined the project on separation of powers ground because the constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to make improvements to federal property. In a 5-4 decision released yesterday, the Supreme Court avoided the separation of powers issue altogether by finding that the named plaintiff likely has no “particular
No Games Allowed: Right to Arbitrate Waived by Filing Suit and Waiting to Request Arbitration (opens the original)

Houston’s Minority Contracting Programs Declared Unconstitutional (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A federal judge in Houston has struck down the race-based aspects of two local contracting programs intended to remedy past discrimination as unconstitutional. The City of Houston’s program set goals for the percentage of contracts awarded to minority-owned businesses and allowed departments to impose contract-specific percentage requirements on non-minority-owned businesses.
