[President] Clinton, he [Lew] said, was always careful never to trouble Lew on Shabbat unless the matter was urgent, and Lew, knowing this, would never have ignored his call. He knew that Id take this call on a Saturday if he needed me; he knew Id get in a car and come in if he needed me, Lew explained.
Maybe I’m looking at this the wrong way, but isn’t this issue important enough to qualify as urgent?
