I’m not sure if it applies to journalism, but when I do things like write reports about medicals I was involved in, I write like that. Usually because that person goes on to definitive care and I don’t know how they fared. Patient was found in this location, services were called, patient was transported to hospital. It feels robotic, but idk how best to handle it.
I read a different article, but my suspicion is that they expect more clarity to come out of further lower court action. I still think they will block it, but maybe they dont see any impact on the election or critical importance now forcing them to act. I’m not sure. I doubt they care about grandkids but am sure you know that 🙂
