Yeehaw. Congratulations Senator Franken! I saw this earlier on tv and let out a big scream. I was asked if I’d won the lottery. I wish.

For those within driving distance of Minnesota — DFL has announced the victory rally will be TOMORROW, JULY 1 AT 12:00 NOON, AT THE CAPITOL. Apparently Franken will be speaking — big free event, so everyone should come.

Some folk have been waiting since November for a rally.

I am just going to assert that the opinion was authored by Notre Dame’s finest Supreme Court Justice, Alan Page!

Remember that we’re talking about relations between independent branches of government here. They are supposed to be friendly and respectful of the rights and privileges of the other branches. Ordering the Governor to sign the election certificate would be a very unfriendly act, especially without an official refusal to sign. Up to this point, everything has been phrased in hypothetical terms. Now it’s reality, and Gov P can either man up and do the right thing, or he can shill for the RNC.

If Pawlenty’o'nuttin’ decides to shill for the national part and refuses to sign the certificate, I expect that Franken will file for a Writ of Mandamus immediately and that the Court will grant it.

Myself, I think that the Court should have issued a writ of mandamus along with the decision, but I’m more than fed up with all the s*** that’s been flung around by Normie and his financial backers.

LOL!

And, of course, it should be recorded.
of course, as BillO would never get on the phone, it would really only be torturing the employee.
Maybe the call could go to that stalker/producer for BillO…

PW!

Your coverage of this long unfortunate affair has been exemplary, I’m a huge fan.

I’ve mentionned this before, but, my payback wish would be that a staffer calls Billo, every morning that Senator Franken is in his office:

” Mister Bill O’Reilly? This is Senator’s Franken office, please wait for the senator…(Celine Dion Muzak)

Billy Boy! Senator Franken here, oops, please hold….’

I know, it’s Bart Simpsonish, but, I’d love it.

Hiking the Appalachian Trail is still hiking. Hiking for Argentine Tail is something else entirely.
