Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) said Sunday he has no plans for further delay in certifying the results of the state's disputed U.S. Senate election so that Republican Norm Coleman can pursue a federal court challenge.
Pawlenty told CNN that he would abide by whatever ruling the Minnesota Supreme Court makes in the contest, where Democrat Al Franken appears to have an upper hand.
"I'm prepared to sign [the certification] as soon as they give the green light," Pawlenty said. “I’m not going to defy an order of the Minnesota Supreme Court. That would be a dereliction of my duty."...

You do realize who are president is, don't you? That should answer your question.
Right, if by "the people" you mean Soros, Acorn, Union bosses and internationalist Wall Street bankers and CEOs. The rest of us appear to have little to say about anything.
It is all in the way you look at things. Just ask Obama how holding majority ownership stakes in banks, and car companies is the least bit constitutional. It isn't.
Well they are supposed to act as the will of the people.
Unfortunately most of the people can’t buy a major party.
Yeah, but unless the rule is stark and simple, it loses its initially understood meaning over time.
I mean, sometimes it comes down to “Let’s not argue and bicker about who killed who.” So, what’s a little violation of your oath of office between friends?
And even then, “stark and simple” doesn’t get you there.
“Freedom of speech” has now become “freedom of expression.” “Freedom of religion” has now become “separation of church and state.” “Freedom of the press” can be limited by a “fairness doctrine.”
And just look what they’ve done to the 2nd ammendment. Geeze, it took them 200+ years to recognize it as an individual right.
I simply believe that because of the situation with Obama, if he qualifies, which he must, he is the president(God I hate to say that), than jindal most certainly qualifies.
Heck Obamas father didn't even p[pretend to want to become a citizen. and the disingenuous prick is constantly referring to his father as an immigrant when he was actually a foreign exchange student.
finding new votes...”provisional” etc....was the ploy to get Gregoire elected her first time around here in Washington.....instead of recounting, they were busy FINDING new ballots, and shazaammm....they found mostly Rat votes...
if the rat machine controls the large cities, then they can dictate the election....
I hear you. It takes a lawyer to be so obtuse that they don't understand what the term Shall Not means.
I sometimes believe that lawyers should be disqualified from congress and the judiciary. Common sense seems to be lost somewhere between the first and third year of law school. Must be all the Latin.
I've been weeping for my country ever since. I know it died a lot earlier, but it was like the final blow, the coup de gras.
Well, there's always the revolution to look forward to. I heard it's kinda like an inquisition. Nobody expects it!
That would save us all a lot of grief.
“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Love the Bard.
I only wish that the USSC would recognize that every citizen has standing when it comes to constitutional issues.
So Pawlenty thinks the Executive branch must bow down before the co-equal Judiciary branch of government.... What a coward. This assclown is definitely not presidential material. That speculation was a joke.
By the time a “military coup” happens, it will be a welcome balancing “act” to aid in “political transition.”
