In a move that will assure Al Franken a hard earned opportunity to prove himself as more than a comedian, on Tuesday he was assigned to his Senate Committees. Franken becomes the newest member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, less than a week before that committee takes up a major issue.
It is rare for a congressional member as new as Franken to be place on a committee that will be addressing such a newsworthy issue. However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the democratic leadership have been planning for the winner of the Minnesota race to serve on this Committee since January, when the new Senate took office.
Franken has promised to be the "people's proxy" during the hearings.
