What basis would the rabbi have to bring a lawsuit to force the airport to put up a Menorah? Why did the threat of a lawsuit evaporate when the trees disappeared?

ALLEGHENY COUNTY v. GREATER PITTSBURGH ACLU, 492 U.S. 573 (1989)

but that was never the point despite some of the terrible media coverage. the Supreme Court basically (the way I read it) called for equal time.

The Seattle Times has a good update--apparently the Rabbi had an opportunity to withdraw the suit, as the Port told the lawyer that they would be taking down the trees. The lawyer immediately squawked, saying that the Port could expect some heat...LOL.

Then the Rabbi started whining for an apology for being blamed for suing the port...?! Medved oughta tell the whole story.
