Franken: ‘I will be certified’

Your are “certified” already Mr. Franken…

A 100% certified and totally embarrassing “NUT JOB”.
Our brains must not ever thaw up here in MN.
Especially on election day…frozen solid.

I’m moving to Mars to get away from this Democratic “Government is the center of the Universe” BS

The good news is…you’re completely irrelevant, just like Dodd, Kennedy, Pelosi, you’ll fit right in…

The Franken team will submit an affidavit detailing their costs in the Howell debacle. (Coleman already paid a fine of $7500 for the infraction.)

I was trying to say the same thing you do about attorneys' fees, but you state it more clearly. My point was that Franken didn't seem to get that (for now anyway, until another court rules differently) he's off the hook for millions of dollars in legal costs. But it was only a couple hours after the order was released, and unlike everyone else in this drama, he's not a lawyer, so I should cut him some slack. Thanks for the comment, LindaM.

The court's opinion says that Coleman must pay Franken's fees and costs for the entire lawsuit and then, in addition, must pay for Coleman's refusing to answer interrogatories, which are part of the discovery process and which carry penalties for refusal. But, we'll wait and see whether Coleman ever pays these court-ordered fees. Would be fun to see him held in contempt and jailed. He'll just continue to drag out the inevitable, just to keep a Democrat from being seated in the Senate. In the event he does pay these fees, I rejoice that those "Freepers" and others who contributed to Coleman to help him with his legal fees will be paying for Franken's legal fees.
