Cornyn: I’ll support Coleman if he appeals to the Supreme Court

D*mn!!!

At a luncheon at the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s headquarters near Capitol Hill (organized by the Heritage Foundation), I asked Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) if there was a Republican game plan ready when the Minnesota Supreme Court makes its ruling in the contested 2008 Minnesota Senate race — if, as many expect, it decides that Al Franken defeated former Sen. Norm Coleman. Although he cautioned that “most predictions about judicial outcomes are 50/50″ and that he didn’t rule out a Coleman win in the state Supreme Court, Cornyn said that Republicans were ready to back more lawsuits if Coleman lost.

“We’ll do everything we can to support Norm as long as he has appellate remedies to pursue,” Cornyn said. “I’m not suggesting Norm has this plan in mind, because frankly I think he’s hopeful it turns out well at the state Supreme Court.”

1. if only Cornyn had credibility. *sigh*

I say let the pelicans waste as much money as they want. Franken will be seated after the Minnesota Supreme court decision.

2. What an f-ing pig.

3. Norm can appeal if he wants

but it has been discussed that the state Supreme Court will at least order a conditional certificate be issued. Minnesota law only prohibits issuing the certificate while the case is in state courts (or so I've been told, I'm not a lawyer).

4. This clown is one reason I'm glad not to live in Texas anymore.

I just don't want to be anywhere near such a pile of dung.

7. Whatever happened to the GOP which thought that Gore should concede with dignity? nt

8. Every expert I have heard has said SCOTUS won't even hear the case.

Game over.
