Not really. It's a little deep for me.
My understanding is that a tied SCOTUS reverts back to the lower court's decision?
I had never considered it but it would seem to be the reasonable expectation that with a de facto no decision that would be the case. Anyway, I was taking that as an implication that we are in deep manure rather than as a technical question.
One thing that has me wondering is the whole head under the pillow thing. I will grant you that I have witnessed only one heart attack that induced death, but what I witnessed would not be compatible with the scene described.
