The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If it was deemed a problem why didn’t ‘they’ go after it from the get go, like when Trump first made the announcement of the ballroom plans instead of waiting this long into the project?

They did. They filed a formal demand letter in October of 2025 notifying the Administration that they weren't following the law - even before Trump tore down the East Wing in late October. They filed suit in December 2025.

They're not "waiting this long into the project," and they have be "after it from the get go." It's not their fault that the Administration has chosen to completely ignore all of the folks who have been loudly and consistently pointing out - correctly - that they shouldn't be doing this without Congressional approval.
