Court ruling favors Franken
By MANU RAJU | 3/31/09 5:06 PM EDT  Updated: 3/31/09 8:06 PM EDT

After seven weeks of reviewing a hand recount, millions spent on legal fees and a tough legal ruling Tuesday afternoon, Norm Coleman still looks like the loser in the Minnesota Senate race.

But even as Democrat Al Franken’s campaign celebrated a three-judge panel’s decision to put at most 400 ballots back in play, the Coleman camp is still promising to take its case to the Minnesota Supreme Court. And it’s not ruling out an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court or filing a new lawsuit in federal district court.

In its ruling Tuesday, the three-judge panel ordered absentee ballots to be turned over to the Minnesota secretary of state’s office by April 6. The ballots would then be counted in open court by April 7.

================================================================

The big question now is, will the US Senate seat Franken after the final vote count on April 7?  Or will the citizens of Minnesota still be denied full representation while Coleman wastes more taxpayer dollars on useless appeals?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Minnisotta supposed to be a "progressive" state?
Now it looks like they'll have a 1960's re-run for one of their senators.
Can Al understand the intricacies of accounting and a budget?
