I’d imagine that they could say it’s too close to the election to issue a ruling affecting this year’s contest (‘the Purcell Principle’ they selectively apply.)
That there are now not consistent grounds on which such radical, late-in-the-game questions can be decided/held in abeyance seems evidence of the sickness of this court, however.

I recall last year an article in The Guardian about two Israeli military (intelligence?) officers warning Bibi’s administration about an upcoming event planned by Hamas. One of the officers was a woman. They were ignored at the time, and after the news report of it came out, there’s been radio silence.

The post-9/11 story I heard about him was that he turned to someone and said that now one of his buildings was now 3rd or 4th tallest in NYC (I forget the placement) now that the WTC buildings were not there. Of course, that was another lie on his part.

I’m starting to believe mattinpa’s initial theory that he is deeply closeted. Somehow he managed not to write that one of them swept him up in his manly arms and kissed him passionately, mussing his wisp of a chiffon nightie…

I remember reading that TCF said he was at his home watching on TV and witnessed the towers toppling down.

By Friday it’ll be that he grabbed a helmet and coat from one of the firefighters, ran into the burning buildings, and was individually escorting little old ladies down from the Observation Deck.

He was just being modest, didn’t want to take away from the firefighters and police heroes of the moment.

I’ll credit Matt: there certainly seems to be a homoerotic strain in these “big, burly man” stories, made all the more so in this story where they untie, and lift Donnie from, the railroad tracks.
