Dear sweet Jebus, let it be over. Via Taegan-
"Almost seven months after a U.S. Senate election that was too close to call, five justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court will hear arguments Monday on whether problems with absentee ballots justify reversing a lower-court ruling that declared Al Franken (D) a 312-vote winner over Norm Coleman (R), the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
"A decision upholding the lower-court ruling could end the protracted struggle and allow Franken to join the Senate, giving Democrats an invincible majority. A ruling for Coleman wouldn't return him to the Senate, but could keep his hopes alive and delay a final decision for months."
The Hill: "Franken has spent the past month and a half behaving more as a senator-in-waiting... Coleman, meanwhile, has maintained a hands-on presence in preparing the appeal."
