This particular consent decree would a give judge binding control to enforce whatever the White House says.
The ADA is, in important contrast to this situation, a law.

As I said: it gives a judge binding control, not the White House.
A distinction with out a difference because this is entirely about whether Columbia agrees to do whatever the White House says it has to do.
No. The consent decree will be agreed to ahead of time, and a judge will interpret and police it. It isn't an arbitrary delegation of authority to the executive branch.
We'll have to wait and see what the consent decree says to evaluate it further.

A very important detail: Who picks the judge?
The court district itself, but generally: it's random (within the district).
