Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Friday denied an attempt to stop construction of the Obama Presidential Center on Chicago’s South Side.

Barrett, a Trump nominee, denied an application (pdf) by community groups that argued the construction will require demolition of “significant parts” of Jackson Park and should therefore trigger a fresh review before being built.
