Two sources: Supreme Court ruling on U.S. Senate race to arrive tomorrow!
Posted 4:29 pm, June 17th, 2009 by Dan Feidt


PIM has now heard from two sources on different sides of the Minnesota U.S. Senate race recount scene that the final Minnesota Supreme Court ruling is expected to arrive tomorrow, Thursday, June 18th. The ruling could arrive between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., a shift from the earlier deadline of 5 p.m. (The PioPress' Rachel Stassen-Berger said it was because the clerks head out at 4:30.) The official Senate race judicial information page is here, and this is the RSS feed which would likely carry the notification.

PIM was the first to note this as a "rumor/scoop" late yesterday via Twitter. At this point we now believe it is "highly likely" to happen; in fact, based on our sources we'd be surprised if it doesn't. While earlier estimates of 30 days of deliberation got floated, we also heard from someone close to the justices that they would like to move things along quickly, so it's more plausible that things are getting tied up today.

We also heard there's some confidence that the three-judge panel ruling (PDF) was pretty solid and won't get eviscerated by the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Go to hell, Coleman. :kick:

but somehow, I believe it will get dragged out even longer.

People in Minnesota are too damn nice.

I'd be pissed.

THIS IS WORSE than the 2000 shrubco (s)election.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MINNESOTA???? SEAT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE ~ Al Franken ~ (or Norm Colemen, if you so declare) AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE!!!!!!

Jesus, chose one and "just 'go with it' ( Choose the 'correct'/not corrupt one though ;-) )

…when the cows come home. :(

and Michelle Bachmann. I was born and raised here, and I don't recognize what this state has become. These effing repukes have really ruined my state.

I feel your pain.

This used to be a really nice place to live. It still is, except for the repukes.

Franken won .... fair & square. Coleman is a lying douchebag.

The lasting impression is the one that counts.

during this process. Kudos to him and he needs to be seated like yesterday.

I really don't understand why they've taken so long. I understand that the legal process takes time BUT you would think with a SENATE SEAT at stake they would move a little faster than this.

I hope they slap down Coleman hard. I guess we just keep our fingers crossed.

Is it too much to ask Harry Reid to show some backbone for a change and seat Franken after the decision is made?

but definitely too much to EXPECT of Mr. Jellyfish spine.

from the Supreme Court. Let's see if Pawlenty makes himself scarce so he won't have to sign on Thursday.

to talk about.

K&R

4:30PM AND 5:00PM have long past ....

I'm used to being frustrated by the long refusal to seat the good junior Senator of Minnesota, but these kinds of stories are a different kind of frustration ...

:hi:

:beer:

Not anymore ....
