I am embarrassed to say I am formerly from Minnesota. The people there seem to have no problem voting for sarcastic, blundering clowns,ie:Franken and Vetura. If the absentee bllots they decided not to open were from Democrat leaning precincts you can bet this would be all over the “Obama mania media”. Open every ballot and hand count it again…just like the Dem’s made them do in Florida.

Please keep up the fight for your seat in the Senate. I’m sure you will win given the opportunity to appeal what is right. I have been praying for you for several months now and you’re still hanging in there. Our country is in really bad shape if people like those in Minnesota who voted for Al Franken are allowed to dishonestly win. Al Franken has the ability of nothing! In my judgement, he isn’t even the comedian that he purports to be!

Again, don’t give up because of rejection from some naive judges! Hang in there and keep up the good fight. The law is on your side!

Its any person’s vote was not counted, as is Coleman’s argument, then they, indeed, have been disenfranchised and their right to have their voted counted has been taken away. If there are indeed absentee ballots not being counted they MUST be counted, or legitimate reason must be given as to why they should not be counted (i.e. – post marked after the officially accepted date).

The Minnesota supreme court really needs to fast track this process, they can dictate to the parties involved, the speed at which they want to move. The facts in this case are not in dispute, i see no reason for new oral arguments, the court’s only role, should be to review the process of the canvassing board, and, the trial that was held in district court. If they find no violations of due process, or errors in legal judgement, they should uphold the judgement of the court that heard the evidence and conducted the trial. I see no reason why this process should take months, in this special case, the court needs to resolve this as fast as it can.

Please. If Franken were behind 312 votes and Republicans were calling for Franken to step down, liberals would go beserk threatening to sue and screaming disenfranchisement.
There is a process that has to play out. A legal process. Let it play out…

Too bad some enterprising reporter can’t tape Coleman having an unguarded conversation with his attorneys. I wonder what they say when they’re behind closed doors. I’ll bet it’s not pretty – nor anything like what they say when the cameras are rolling.

this is unseemly for any politician. Makes Coleman look like a desperate idiot clinging to his political career.

Coleman is only doing this for the money now. I doubt he even believes the things that he’s saying. The RNC will keep paying his debts as long as he goes along with obstructing Franken from taking his place in the Senate, and he needs the money desperately.

The plutocrats have very deep pockets. They’ll finance this thing as far as the courts will allow it to go. Anything to keep one of their favorite puppets in office. It’s a damn shame that the MN state supreme court will probably be corrupt enough to carry it forward.

Okay, will the justices appointed by Coleman recuse themselves?
