"This paper deals with the proposal that the Universe is not expanding,
but that redshifts are produced by a tired-light mechanism. This
hypothesis is used to infer that the observation of Type 1a supernovae
are consistent with such a static universe by re-calibrating the
Type 1a using the Phillips relation modified by assuming a selection
effect.


Why doesn't the observed light curve stretch -- higher-redshift SNe
take longer to decline -- rule out tired light as providing the bulk
of the redshift?


In the case of Crawford's paper the reason for the light curve stretch
is a very special interpretation of Phillips relation with a not
straightforward new analysis of the type Ia supernovae data. In the case
of the WPT (world potential theory) redshift and time dilation are
caused by the cosmic gravity (subsections 6.3.1, 6.3.2 and 6.3.3 in
[1]); this cosmic gravitative redshift and time dilation are a simple
effect of Einstein's original equivalence principle of 1907 (page 454 in
[2]) in the frame of SR without any need of GR.


There are, of course, lots of other arguments against any tired light
explanation. It's not as though the possibility has been ignored.


No, not against _any_ tired light explanation; WPT [1] e.g. has no
problems with all old well known arguments
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tired_light).
