Star Tribune: The court gave Coleman 10 days to ask for a rehearing, something it rarely grants.

The ruling also did not directly address Pawlenty's role. The court's ruling stopped short of explicitly ordering the governor to sign the document, saying only that Franken was "entitled" to it.

In declining Franken's request to make the ruling effective immediately, the court gave Coleman 10 days to ask for a rehearing, something it rarely grants. The ruling also sidesteps Franken's request that the court direct Pawlenty and Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to sign a certificate "promptly."

The delay for a rehearing could give Coleman and better chance to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the decision and to review the case, but it was not immediately clear if he would do so.

3. Then I wonder why

Edited on Tue Jun-30-09 02:57 PM by Cha

the MSC gave it to Franken if they're making it so easy for coleman to drag this out?

Is it because now it's out of their hands and coleman and the USSC can drag it out even further?
