Repubs want Coleman to take his case to the Supreme Court

[kentuck]

Perhaps he should? Lets get the Supreme Court on record once and for all so everyone will know where they stand? As if it wasn't enough that they declared George W Bush the winner of the Presidency in 2000, all they would need is another decision like that, so they could lose whatever tiny bit of credibility they might have left? Or maybe this will give them an opportunity to redeem themselves in the eyes of a lot of Americans? I say go for it.

Senate Republicans are backing their beleaguered colleague in Minnesota, saying former Sen. Norm Coleman should push his election case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Coleman has been battling Democrat Al Franken since November for the seat that used to be his, but recent court decisions have moved against him in the legal battle over the recount. Franken technically has a 225-vote lead, and last week a decision gave him a stronger chance of clinging to it.

Moderate GOP members also say they back a U.S. Supreme Court battle if Coleman chooses.

"Whatever he says," said Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine.). "So much has been committed. He's obviously invested so much in time and commitment and money -- it's staggering -- so I think it's important that either side abide by the final process by which the final decision will be rendered. It would put your mind at peace with the outcome."

2. Dear Senator Snowe,

Shut up and keep your goddamn nose out of Minnesota. Thank you.
Your buddy lost.

Sincerely,

HKC.

3. I doubt they'd even hear it. THey would leave it up to MN and the

Senate to settle. But, sure he can try.

5. The GOP has no integrity

8 years ago they all said that Gore should concede. Now they want Coleman to keep going. Quite frankly, a party of assholes.

7. Chimpy v. Gore was a one-shot deal.

The gop was beyond desperation in their attempt to install * in the Presidency. All their plans depended upon getting him into office. You saw people like James Baker get on TV with fire in their eyes. They were going to accomplish their mission by hook or by crook.
Contrast that with Coleman. He is merely an obstruction, told to delay Franken from getting seated for as long as possible. It's just another part in the grand scheme of the gop to derail the Obama administration. But in no way is there a groundswell of support from the gop poobahs like there was for *.
