"Get the Al Franken Show on the road
The U.S. Senate should provisionally seat the former performer if the Minnesota Supreme Court rejects rival Norm Coleman's challenge to the narrow 2008 election results.
By Richard L. Hasen


The Minnesota Supreme Court will hear arguments today in Coleman vs. Franken, Norm Coleman's challenge to the 2008 U.S. Senate election in Minnesota. If, as expected, the court rejects Coleman's challenge and confirms Al Franken as the winner, the U.S. Senate should be ready to seat Franken provisionally, even if Coleman vows further legal action and even if the state's governor refuses to sign Franken's election certificate. "


"With Coleman facing such long odds at that point, there would be no reason to deny the people of Minnesota half of their Senate representation for another three or more months. . "


Oh yeah, please give this a kick if you're so inclined:

2. Another victim of Blago
They insisted that Burris be signed off on before they would seat him. Now, they are stuck with that precedent.
