Regarding Sen. Franken: He didn't do JACK SHIT for his first 6 months in office!
He didn't carry out his duties, as defined by the constitution, for at least 1/12 of his term in office! Just another example of a do-nothing senator who needs to be voted out of office!

2. For punishment, he should be forced into 6 months extended service after his Senate term expires.
It would serve him right.

9. Thanks, Rowdyboy
When I read this thread, I started to wonder if that whole count-and-recount thing was in my head. Since it wasn't, where have the other posters been?

Not what I had intended as a first post.

7. What's ironic is that he's still not missed as much work as Bush did in his 8 years
I wonder if, after he's sworn in, he'll only get 11/12ths of his salary.

22. I'm afraid I'll need to get in line right now.
I don't mind bringing law suits, but I hate waiting in line. (unless the payoff is a kickass roller coaster)

34. It'll be his absenteeism in the roll call / voting record. That's how they'll do it.
Just enough spin to sound faintly legitimate to people who don't bother to think for themselves.
