[…] On Saturday morning, lawyers representing Norm Coleman tried to torpedo Minnesota election law and have Norm Coleman declared Senator by judicial fiat (Funny how conservatives believe in judicial restraint in all matters except election law). Matt has more on this subject here. […]

Ha! Michael, please, let’s you and I get into a discussion of what these court documents say. I know Ron Carey and Norm Coleman probably told you what they want you to think they mean, but if you’d like me to tell you what they actually say, you only have to ask.

For someone going to law school, you’d think Matt would know how to read court documents.

Coleman is a crook in my estimation.
There’s more to this than just elections.

I suspect he thinks that as a seated senator he will be more prosecution-proof than as a private citizen.

“How far is Norm Coleman willing to go in undermining democracy to win this election? And why is Norm Coleman afraid of every properly cast ballot being counted?”

1) As far as necessary.
2) Desperation. They are probably seeing that Franken has an apparent advantage in this recount.

This is shocking, however, and very odd that it hasn’t been reported in the MSM. I’m no lawyer, but my guess would be that if the court had ruled in Coleman’s favor, it would’ve been shot down on appeal.
