http://sayanythingblog.com/index.php Under precedent put into place by (surprise!) Bush vs. Gore:
I’m not sure that Norm Coleman back in the Senate is particularly helpful for the conservative cause of bringing the Republican party back to its limited government roots and thus back into the majority in Congress, but certainly he’s an improvement over Franken. And ultimately justice in this case is a cause that trumps any partisan concerns
The election was close, no doubt, but it appears as though Franken was declared the winner not because he got the most votes but because he was better than Coleman at manipulating the vote counting. Which is no way to win an election
What Minnesota needs is a do-over election, because this one was clearly botched by election officials (and court officials) in Minnesota. But that solution would likely need to start with the Minnesota state legislature. Given that it’s currently controlled by Democrats, I doubt such a solution is coming
One can only hope that eventually Minnesota voters will punish Democrats for stealing this election by booting their candidate, Franken, from office in the next election. Unfortunately, well have to put up with six years of Senator Smalley before that can happen
