I hope so. Half a year wasted, when Senator Franken should have been able to be working for Minnesota.

I hope so as well, i’m starting to believe that Franken will never be able to help us:(

Gee! I suppose you liberals can’t wait to have that disgusting man in the senate. He will fit right in with the other unethical liberals in the senate.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Between this guy and Coleman, it looks like peeing in the punchbowl is the only thing the GOP has left.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:12 am
John Ensign, and did I mention John Ensign?
June 18th, 2009 at 9:18 am
He’s the winner of the “disgusting man” contest — and no recount is needed.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Prove he’s “disgusting.”
June 18th, 2009 at 9:36 am
help us what, be more like Cuba and Venezuela?
June 18th, 2009 at 9:42 am
You know where the duly elected candidate takes his seat.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:42 am
At least he’s not under investigation by the Feds for taking bribes like Coleman is. Isn’t THAT disgusting and unethical? Oh wait, in your reality he didn’t do anything wrong, its a partisan witch hunt, so of course its not disgusting. Sorry.
Coleman tells Franken after the election he should pass on a recount for the good of the taxpayers of Minnesota, to save money (even though it was required by state law due to the closeness of the election). Then when it turns out Coleman might lose, he drags a recount and court suit on longer than any Senate race in US history. When he thinks he is winning, serving the taxpayers means passing on a recount - when he is losing, serving the taxpayers means wasting their money as long as possible. In your reality I’m sure that is not hypocritical. To me it, and Coleman, are disgusting. To you wonderful. Heads you win, tails I lose.

You think Franken is disgusting? At least, Franken is not a traitor who switches the party affiliation like Coleman did whenever it was politically convinient.
Watch 2010 - we gonna get rid of more right wing conservatives from power and you can rename you party from GOP to “Great but Irrelevant Old party” remember what happened to Wigs party in mid 19 century? the same fate may come to Your party, buddy!!!
June 18th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Again the Republicans set the bar high for hypocrisy
I especially like how he was scolding Larry Craig while he was having the affair
June 18th, 2009 at 11:27 am
to be hitting the sauce, gramps?
And didn’t your doctor tell you that Fox News is bad for your angina?

More like six and a half years. Bush, Jr., Deadeye **** Cheney, and Karl Rove all needed a patsy as chair of the Permanent Senate Subcommittee for Investigations. When they got Tim Pawlenty to back out of the Senate race against Paul Wellstone, they secured Norm Coleman’s allegiance and acquiescence. And they most certainly got it.
All those years of no investigations by the one subcommittee with the range, authority, and power to really go after things like corruption and misuses of power. The same spot Harry Truman used to turn American industry away from graft and ineptitude and into a useful war effort. And that chair was filled for six critical years by Norman Bertram Coleman, Jr., whose only action was to go after Kofi Annan at the United Nations for some piddly ****. Meanwhile, the country went to hell.
Thanks Normie.

I can hardly wait, Sarge57! The revolution is coming, and we’re going to string you up from a tree!
June 18th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
It’s about time! Poor rebublican party had dwindled into an angry, ignorant group of old dying bigots. How pathetic.
June 18th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
You mean dying southern CHINA buffet all you can eat Republican white trash bigots..
June 18th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Are there any Republican Senators who haven’t cheated on their wives? The hypocrisy, unethical behavior and just lack of morals from the Republican Party is staggering. As a former Republican, I left because of the hate and the hypocrisy, I say it’s high time for the Republican Party to throw in the towel. What a disgrace it has become.
June 18th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I don’t want to even think of the words “Fox News” and “******” in the same sentence.
What? Oh, that’s different.
June 18th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I think it is ridiculous that the MN Supreme Court has taken this long. I was beginning to suspect that the MN Supreme Court was on the GOP’s payroll, like many other entities.
Enough is enough already. Let Franken take his seat!
June 18th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I’ve listened to a lot of Franken’s speeches, and I never heard him mention that we should be more like Venezuela or Cuba, could you get me a reference for that lobuf?
June 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Whenever I hear these comments, all I can think is “Larry Craig”.
June 18th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Good information for you, pal, to read:

It is not a matter of what you or I want, the people MN elected him. We shouldn’t deny people their representation because we don’t like who they chose…
June 18th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
It is not what Liberals want, it’s about who MN elected.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Even socialism beats the smoky ruins the GOP left this last go around.
By the way, I believe it was a Republican named Hank who begged on his knees on the floor of the house for money to buy the banks. The GOP fails to see that all the companies owned by our government were bought by the GOP. This includes the auto industry, Fannie and Freddie, you name it. Bush bought them not Obama.
June 19th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
You mean committed fraud to acheive a victory.
June 20th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Did you listen to Frankensdicks speeches..I would rather watch paint dry for a week!!!!! Anyway let him have the seat he cheated so badly to get……It’s all over in 2010…
June 21st, 2009 at 9:15 pm
This is one of the most, if not, the fairest election in us history. It is certainly the most open as we could watch the everyday court happenings, which was a bit slow at times with the flip flopper’s(Norm C.) attny going on and on.
June 24th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Oh, and the GOP has NEVER, EVER committed fraud to acheive a victory before 8-|

…letting Dubya have the White House his daddy’s minions stole so blatently for him in 2000.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
This story, found while googling news on the decision, is my first and last experience with your web site. You are hereby deemed highly unreliable.

I agree. Why is this taking the Minn Sup. Ct. so long? When were the oral arguments May. Christ it’s almost July.
If they aren’t working on this case, WHAT ARE THEY DOING? Hiking the Appalachin Trail?
