I've considered exactly what you consider...why so long to make that decision?

They could simply rule conditionally if he was to be allowed as motioned....where if they were not going to allow his motion ...simply kill it now.

IMO, Can't hang much on it....but it does seem strange not to rule on a procedural issue, as it has nothing to do with the petition in any direct way.

Looks to be a secret until the day the petition is decided.
