Those impish Republicans. They're just so endearingly pliable, often excruciatingly cheery, and so very admirably reachy-outy:
The top Senate Republican said his caucus would block any attempt to seat Democrat Al Franken until an anticipated court case over Minnesota's close election is finished and an official election certificate is conferred. [...]
Senate Democrats have not indicated what they would do if Franken's lead over Coleman holds up after the recount ends. [...]
Cornyn's threat means it is probable that Minnesota will have only one senator when the new Congress convenes on Tuesday. A court challenge and possible appeals could keep it that way for several months.
Coleman's out on Saturday, when his term expires. That has an exceptionally nice ring to it.
