Eight months of legal briefs and court battles have ended. Al Franken, despite (or because of) the appearance of mystery votes, and the double counting of votes at some of the voting places, is now the newest U.S. Senator from the State of Minnesota. The election recount battle wound up with a State Supreme Court decision that hearkens one's memory back to Florida, and the questions of constitutionality - after all, is it constitutional for the judiciary to become involved in an election like that?
The Democrats, and the liberal media, are jumping for joy. The Democrats have a 60 vote, filibuster-proof majority.
But as indicated by the fact that 44 Democrats jumped ship in the House of Representatives over the vote for the Climate Bill, nothing is ever "for sure."
By the way, the news channels are saying that Al Franken is the first professional comedian to be elected to Senate - but I disagree - the entire Congress is full of comedians and jokers.
