Coleman Attorney: "We're Going To Appeal"
Blasting today's ruling by a three-judge panel as an "April Fool's Day Order," Norm Coleman attorney Ben Ginsberg just said on a conference call they would have no choice but to appeal the decision to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Ginsberg said the court's order was an "unprincipled decision" because it called for a different standard for ballots than was followed on election day, and that separate standards were applied in different counties.
He cautioned that today's order is not the final opinion, which is anticipated next week once the court looks at the ballots and rules on other matters, but assuming the final opinion doesn't change the decision they made today, he said, "we're going to appeal."
"[The decision] continues to disenfranchise thousands of Minnesotans whose votes should be counted, whose votes would have been counted had they lived just in a different jurisdiction," Ginsberg said.

Hilarious. It's over.
Congratulations Senator Franken. I am certain you will make an excellent Senator.
Just tickles me to no end seeing the wingnuts whine and cry and try to get "activist" judges to overturn the will of the voters.
And Tedisco is going down in the New York Congressional election. And with registered Republicans outnumbering Democrats by 75,000! Tedisco has already filed his lawsuit to overturn the will of the voters.
Things aren't going too good in wingnuttia, huh? And count me as one who could not possibly be more thrilled.
And I vow to do everything I possibly can to keep the Republican scum from coming even close to getting out of the hole they've dug themselves.
Victory! How sweet it is!

If ever we needed proof jharp is a troll, he just gave it to us, signed, sealed and delivered.

If the emotionally volatile comedian becomes Senator Franken, he will feel perfectly at home among his Democratic colleagues in DC, so many of whom are fellow tax evaders. It seems only Republicans nowadays are dumb enough to pay their taxes.

Too funny.
One jharp impostor and one wingnut loser whining and begging his fellow losers to ignore me.
Better get the three time divorced, drug addicted, sex tourist, family values leader of the GOP, El Rushbo, to commence to rally the troops behind Coleman.
By the way, how's that going with Limbaugh as the leader of the GOP?
Too damn funny. Limbaugh cost you losers another House seat. Did anyone see the ad?

Has anyone seen David Mathews? I've got a B&B and a judge reserved in Massachusetts. Oh God does my @$$ look big in this?

Senator Frankenstein.

ACORN has to be stopped BEFORE the election. The judges are probably already in the tank for demos.

Okay, that last post was so fake! I'm not getting married in Massachusetts or anywhere else, cause I don't have a boyfriend yet! But mother says the right guy will come along eventually and 47 is still young! Ha ha!!
I'm hoping he'll look just like Obama. Barack, I mean! I love Michelle to pieces, but she's just a little too butch for me!

I see that Kathleen Sebelius, the Tiller the baby killer supporter, just been busted for unpaid taxes. Democrat Pondscum. Franken got busted for unpaid taxes in 6 states! Liberal cheats, liars and thieves.

jharp - I just pissed off a bunch of your buddies on Media Matters and Daily Kos.
They're beside themselves that Frankenstein didn't win just yet...
You guys are so easy to taunt. Glad you like to eat slim jims, buddy. Now stop molesting us like the children you ogle over at the play areas at the mall.
Can't wait to b-tch slapp your sorry asses out of office in 2010 and 2012.
Douche.
