Since the Constitution says senators are elected ”for six years”, at what point do Franken’s lawyers start arguing that (after this is finally settled in his favor) Franken’s term should be extended for a commensurate period after January 2015?

Now would be a interesting moment in time to ask a conservative like Norm Coleman how he stands on tort reform?

Why he would deny citizens of this country the ability to sue for damages those that would perpetrate the law for profit.

Not just a GOPer that begs the court’s conservative activist judges to rule for him over the election.

Norm saw how it worked for Bush Jr. and maybe someone could ask Norm how he feels about those that believe in entitlements.

A Dollar a Day to Make Norm Coleman Go Away

If thousands of us donate $1 to defeat Republicans each day Norm Coleman doesn’t concede, we’ll reverse the incentives for his DC Republican funders! Can you donate $1 a day to help progressives run, and win?

Over $101,000 has been raised so far — how high can we go?

Would be a helluva lot nicer to see media not treat their plots as though they succeeded….

Props, PW! Thanks for all the Franken updates.

OT: Probably pointless to read much into this. From the NYT:

President Obama has interviewed his first prospective Supreme Court candidate, an official confirmed on Wednesday, sitting down privately in the White House for a conversation with Judge Diane P. Wood, who was visiting Washington from Chicago.

Never read the book but have probably read summaries or all the parts concerning famous folks. Would have been an interesting (and busy) job.

Speaking of LA coroners, did you ever read his book? It’s worthwhile.

Heh. Nothing you can do with broken raw eggs except marvel at the mess. But if it had been frozen chickens, I’d bet my parents, Misers R Us, would be at the front of the line.

Still no match for the L.A. Coroner, who has had a client roll out the back of their vehicle while on the expressway (more than once if I’m not mistaken).
