After 8 months of futile court battles on the part of Norm Coleman, Al Franken has finally won his senate seat. In the court ruling today, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Al Franken. With such a unanimous ruling, Coleman figured that the U.S. Supreme Court would not look at this case and so he decided to quit.
Doesn't really matter to Norm though. The GOP was paying for his fight. They spent almost 1 million in fees to help out Norm that could have gone to 2010 election battles. What a waste of money.
The real trouble is in the mail for the GOP. Dem Senator Byrd just got out of the hospital, Senator Kennedy can make small trips to DC, Penn Senator Specter switched parties, and finally Al Franken will be getting seated sometime this week or next giving the dems 60 seats. A filibuster proof majority that the GOP only dreamed of.
My oh my have the tables have turned.
