Norm Coleman will rage, rage against the dying of the light. CQ Politics:
Republican Norm Coleman filed the promised notice of appeal Monday challenging a trial court’s ruling that Democrat Al Franken is the winner of Minnesota’s 2008 Senate race.
The appeal to the state Supreme Court will be based on the same arguments Coleman’s legal team made unsuccessfully during the seven-week election trial, though with a focus on what his attorneys say are constitutional violations made during the initial count and six-week recount.
Huh. That doesn’t sound like it will be very successful.
The Coleman campaign said it expected the state Supreme Court to take the case on an expedited basis, with attorney Jim Langdon estimating oral arguments could take place “anywhere from two weeks to two months from now.”
Ahhh.
