Great point!
I’ve heard hardly a peep out of Tim Pawlenty. He is still the Governor right? Or is he too busy connecting with folks at Sam’s Club to notice a Senate seat is being stolen right from under his nose?
When Pawlenty does talk he speaks like a scared wimp. He can go ahead and grow that mullet back because his national political career is over. His lack of any political courage whatsoever is shockingly evident.
Tar, feathers and a pitchfork can do a lot. They are wussies.
You’d rather he runn around sounding like franken’s camp? The recount isn’t done.
Franken’s a tool. He needs to populate some 0330 Skinemax bonanza, that only he and his ambiguously gay posse will attend.
If that were to happen, in the face of a clear Coleman win in the Minnesota count, Coleman would go to the SCOTUS. Don't ask me what would happen there.
I heard Pawlenty on Sean Hannity’s radio show trying to assure everyone that the recount will be on the level. So far, he seems to be right. But who knows what might happen day to day?
I don't think the Senate has the authority to do that. The Senate's authority to refuse to seat an elected Senator is limited to constitutional requirements such as age or citizenship.
If Coleman pulls this off, he deserves the Horatio Cocles Award for the Century.
This number is misleading. Coleman has challenged almost 150 more ballots than Franken. The vast majority of the challenges will be decided as the original decision. It looks like Coleman is leading by less than 150 votes when challenges are considered.
I heard him too. Hannity asked him about ballots being found in a guy’s car. Hannity asked him if the guy was a Democrat. No answer. Pawlenty had no idea. He didn’t look into it. He was too busy connecting with Sam’s Club’s voters to know what the hell is going on in his own state.
ALRIGHT!! Now, moving on to Georgia!! I hear that Chambliss is favored. Anyone with extra money should give to the National Republican Trust.
It does have this authority, explicitly under the Constitution. Democrats have used this authority in the past to overturn close certified election results they did not like.
There is absolutely nothing that can be done about it other than protest. It is 100% legal.
Do they already know what is on these 6500 rejected ballots, or are they still sealed?
Minnesota has always been behind the curve when it comes to voter fraud. This is just a comedian’s error. Give him time....some more time ...another time...next time. He’s Al Franken, doncha know!
Seems offhand that there would be two different Constitutional provisions in conflict: the provision in Article I giving each house the power to judge the qualifications of its members and the provision in the 17th Amemdment stating that Senators shall be elected by the people of their state.
He probably pretty much recites his lines by rote. We've all heard the "Let every vote count" song before.
“Dirty Harry has suggested that the Senate may not seat Coleman. I don’t think they have the stones to just give it to Franklin (Franken).”
Don’t kid yourself. They did it in Indiana for a House seat.
