It's less than 12 hours to zero hour, and we're STILL waiting .... ? Why is Arnold doing this?
I'm thinking of all those old black and white jailhouse movies that portrayed the agony of the ticking clock. The warden anxiously waits by the phone, just in case it rings with a reprieve.
His decision has clearly been made. There must be a reason why he is waiting so long. My thoughts on the reason:
1 - less time for riots, and
2 - hoping some pathetic court issues a stay which prevents him from making the decision
I don't know why he's waited so long. Perhaps he's trying to give the gangbangers in South Central less time to prepare for a riot.
"It's less than 12 hours to zero hour, and we're STILL waiting .... ? Why is Arnold doing this?"
Because it is not an easy decision for him to make. Nor should it be.
""It's less than 12 hours to zero hour, and we're STILL waiting .... ? Why is Arnold doing this?""
He's waiting because the later he says no, the less likelihood some lawyer will have the time and opportunity to strategize on delaying this even further. I would wait until the last minute.
