From the AP via Breitbart:
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Lawyers for Democrat Al Franken told Minnesota's highest court Thursday that he should be certified as the winner of his tight Senate race with Republican Norm Coleman without waiting for the outcome of his rival's legal challenge.
The Minnesota Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Franken's request for a certificate of election now, at least on an interim basis, so that Minnesota's empty seat can be filled without waiting the months it may take for the courts to resolve Coleman's separate lawsuit over the recount, which gave Franken a 225-vote advantage.
Franken, who kept finding votes that were wildly in his favor during the long and contentious election and recounts and who enjoys calling other people liars, is now complaining that Coleman's demand for a recount of absentee ballots that may have been inappropriately rejected is getting in the way of Congressional business.
Franken and his lawyers assert that Congress cannot do without having all of its members present to decide issues of war, peace and confiscating other people's assets to advance a ideological agenda stimulus.
How anyone can assert such a thing with a straight face when we have the Saviour President who voted "present" so often during his brief tenure in the Senate is tough to understand.
