The ruling isn't expected to be the final word because Coleman immediately announced plans to appeal to the state Supreme Court. He has 10 days to do so. That appeal could mean weeks more delay in seating Minnesota's second senator. After a statewide recount and seven-week trial, Franken stands 312 votes ahead.Norm Coleman knows his chances are zero, and so does the Republican Party. The whole point of dragging this out is to keep Franken from being seated as long as they possibly can. The fascists on the right believe the longer they keep the Democrats from getting their 59th member, the easier it will be to block some of President Obama's agenda.
This little game should surprise no one. The GOP are notorious for blocking the will of the people. The 2000 presidential election and the 2003 governor recall in California are two recent cases in point.
