Three judges put on the bench by governors of three political parties will hear the highly charged election lawsuit that stands between Minnesota and its second U.S. senator.

The panel named Monday by the state's highest court will preside over a Republican Norm Coleman's court case that seeks to overturn Democrat Al Franken's 225-vote advantage following a long recount. The case is expected to take months to resolve.

The three district judges are:

It's over. Coleman is screwed.

One judge appointed by DFL'er Perpich....One appointed by MOONBAT Ventura, and one appointed by Arne Carlson, who the media continues to call a Republican.

Arne is already on the record calling for Coleman to give in.

The fix is in.

The state’s highest court sucks.

Give it a good fight, Norm! You have your rights.

...it’s patently obvious to everyone that there has been shifty dealings in the recount.

But I’m sure this court won’t see it. :(

Federal courts will favor Coleman if he has the guts to stick with it.

The Supreme Court ruled in Bush VS Gore about uneven recount standards among precincts.

Just want to warn you that there's already a dem response to that line:

If you can't win an election, steal one. If you can't steal one, have the judges do it for you.

Hey, I'm just the messenger. I'm trying to think of a response, something like: "But first make sure you appointed the judges."

Sounds like the “One appointed by MOONBAT Ventura” is the only Judge without a Dog in this fight.

That gives me hope for an HONEST outcome, rather than a Partyist outcome.

Anyone with two working brain cells knows the election is being stolen. I hope Coleman takes it all the way to the USSC if that’s what it comes to.
