Texas Sen. says Coleman has right to pursue legal fight for years

From the Star Tribune

Texas Sen. John Cornyn is threatening “World War III” if Democrats try to seat Al Franken in the Senate before Norm Coleman can pursue his case through the federal courts.

Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, acknowledges that a federal challenge to November’s elections could take “years” to resolve. But he’s adamant that Coleman deserves that chance — even if it means Minnesota is short a senator for the duration.

Sen. Charles Schumer, the New York Democrat in charge of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, says that Minnesota gets its second senator as soon as the state case ends.

“Whatever the state Supreme Court decides, as I understand it, the law requires it to be certified,” Schumer says.

As a resident of the North Star State, I would respectfully tell Sen. Cornyn Minnesota is quite capable of dealing with this on our own.

1. I think Obama said it best at the DNC convention - "Enough!"

[Ron Green]

2. John Cornyn is a real asshole.

The fact that people like him keep getting elected in Texas is a big reason I'm not still there.

6. Once the MNSC decides, all Franken needs to do

is take Pawlenty to the MNSC to compel him to issue a certificate. Under Minnesota law, they ahd to let Coleman work through the MN courts, but federal appeals are not covered under the statute.

Once he has a certificate, it's over.

7. Blame should also be placed @ the DSCC's feet

We had a excellent candidate Rick Noriega an active duty service member running against the Cornyn Big Machine who was well financed. Cornyn ran TV ads almost non-stop.

Bill and Hillary campaigned for Rick, tried to get the DSCC to help fund him, but the DSCC couldn't be bothered with getting another Democrat elected. Instead the DSCC spent most of their resources on incumbent members, huge amounts of money. :shrug:


So, anytime I hear about Cornyn doing some dumbass stunts I will remind everyone here about Rick Noriega and the neglect he received from the Democratic Party.


BTW: I'm a Texan and I tried my best to help get Rick elected. Now I'm stuck with Cornyn for another 6 Long YEARS :puke:
